Cu Van Tran's original fine art prints translate the joy of childhood and lightness of being into form and colour. The central character of this prints series, Mr. Cooee is, just like the artist, an explorer, an adventurer and visionary. An accomplished artist who finds avenues of expression in painting, design and calligraphy, Cu Van Tran nourishes his inspiration with traditional South-East Asian and modern Australian influences. Cu Van Tran's intricate designs weave the heraldry of the time of wandering minstrels into extraordinarily balanced jewels. The black and white simplicity of the work adds to the symbolist mystique and emphasises the delicate touch of the artist.
