Setting a Vietnamese record for performing on stage using many forms and materials

Attending the announcement ceremony in Ho Chi Minh City were Mr. Duong Duy Lam Vien, General Secretary of the Vietnam Record Association, Director of the Vietnam Records Institute; Ms. Tran Thu Phuong, Deputy General Secretary of the Vietnam Records Organization.

Mr. Nguyen Tien (born 1990) is one of the young artists, currently running professional art in the field of sand painting, participating in many large and small events across the country.

To set the record, Mr. Nguyen Tien performed a total of 12 types of art including: sand painting, glitter painting, water painting (pouring paint), fire painting, water painting, reverse watercolor painting, electric painting, spray painting and knife painting.

Sand paintings are drawn using different materials (coffee beans, cashew nuts, rice grains), and stage performances last from 3 to 7 minutes depending on the material.

He began to explore using more materials and different painting methods to diversify his performances. Constantly creating, Nguyen Tien successfully experimented with a series of new painting performance models: water painting, fire painting, painting with paper cutters, glitter painting, painting with spray paint cans...
