Biography: Vu Dan Tan, born in 1946 in Hanoi, is a self-taught artist. He developed a unique approach to the creation by using recycled materials such as empty cans or discarded candy packets. His work seem to have something in common with children's play and reflects an innocent and fanciful imagination of this artist who adores the classical music and Charlie Chaplin.
