In 1996 he will participate in the exhibition “Vietnamese Art after Doi Moi” organised by the Fujita Museum in Tokyo and in an exhibition in Bangkok. The H&S painting of Nguyen Lam is simply magic. The naked protagonist is looking at you peacefully from pastel surroundings that emphasize this strange and unusual feeling. She comes out of emptiness to deliver us a message of peace and innocence, it is an invitation to journey and a hand offered towards the serenity of a relationship with the refuge it can offer.
