Thanh Dang

On social media, Thang Dang is known as Họa sĩ Vũ Trụ (The Cosmic Painter). His paintings often bear an upside-down signature, sometimes prompting viewers to hang the work in reverse, an intentional disorientation that resists linear interpretation. Unlike Georg Baselitz, who famously inverts the image itself, Dang’s inversion is subtler, a psychological cue rather than a pictorial one. It unsettles without overwhelming, opening space for the oscillation between impulsive bursts of hyper-expression and the lucid clarity that emerges in withdrawal. Unbound by convention yet sharply perceptive, his practice invites viewers to linger in the disorientation rather than resolve it.
