Two cultures, norwegian and vietnamese united in Dang Van Ty`s Art. An universal, impressionist and diverse artist. There are the Nordic landscape, peaceful and quiet, bright colors, light coats but same time silence and pain in his artpices. There is the Vietnamese lanscape in warm deep tones.

Maybe Ty`s past is still here, so his paintings are soaked with a Viatnemese substanse of amourousness, lightness, unfounded melancholy and a little coquettishness lika petty poems in decorous Vietnamese easy to memorize
