The richly-colored
canvasses of Kai Hoang
do not depict objects or
tell stories, but rather
make visible the mystery
of spiritual
transformation. Hoang's
work has gained an
international following
because of his subject
matters and the manner
in which he renders
passion on canvas.

that is calling to Kai from the mountains of northern Vietnam. Kai’
