Trained to be a traditional portraitist at the age of 10 in his native Vietnam, Cuong has always had a passion for drawing human faces. He finds the natural beauty in the people that surround him—from the men and women he painted to earn money on the streets of Saigon as a child, to the denizens of Silicon Valley that he often paints today. Faces inspire him—so much so that that he has been known to approach strangers to request that they model for him.
Art has always been a passion for Cuong. His formal training began at the Academy of Art in Saigon, but was interrupted when he realized his dream of escaping the country and coming to the U.S. Starting with only twenty dollars to his name, he worked multiple jobs to put himself through school and earn a degree in illustration and graphic design from San Jose State University. Though he put aside his fine art ambitions for a time, he was unable to stay away for long.
Cuong's paintings depend on the dramatic portrayal of light, shadow and environment to create their mood and sense of realism. He often supplements the emotions visible in his subjects' faces with symbolic imagery that adds a sense of mystery. He believes that a successful painting requires that he establish an emotional connection with his subject, so that the viewer in turn connects at an emotional level with his work.
Cuong was the First Place Winner of the Triton Museum of Art's 2011 Statewide Painting Competition and Exhibition. We are pleased to share a significant exhibition of works by this amazing artist.

Hi, I'm a Real Estate Agent in Santa Clara and the greater Bay Area. I love to work with people that want to find or sell their home. Santa Clara, Ca is a great place to own a home for those looking to buy. We have safe schools, great neighborhoods, entertainment and a booming tech industry.
Santa Clara is located in the center of Silicon Valley and is home to the headquarters of several high-tech companies. It is the site of Levi's Stadium, the future home of the National Football League's San Francisco 49ers and site of Super Bowl L. It is also home to Santa Clara University, the oldest institution of higher learning in the state of California. The city is bordered by San Jose, Sunnyvale and Cupertino.
Transportation:
Santa Clara has two major train stations: the Santa Clara -- Great America Station and the Santa Clara Station. The former is served by Amtrak's Capitol Corridor train and Altamont Commuter Express, while the latter is served by Caltrain and Altamont Commuter Express. Santa Clara is located adjacent to Mineta San Jose International Airport, in fact a small portion of the airport is in Santa Clara. Some other nearby major airports include San Francisco International Airport and Oakland International Airport. Most public buses in the city are operated by Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority. There is a light rail system in Santa Clara and the rest of the county which is also operated by Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority(VTA).
Santa Clara is also home to California's Great America, an amusement park currently operated by Cedar Fair, L.P.. Nearby is the Santa Clara Convention Center, one of Silicon Valley's largest event and meeting venues. Santa Clara also offers several museums such as the Intel Museum, Triton Museum of Art, and the Harris - Lass historical house. Near the above mentioned Mission College is the Our Lady of Peace Shrine notable for its thirty-two foot tall statue which is viewable from Highway 101 in a manner similar to the statue of Junípero Serra in Hillsborough, CA. The Mission City Center for Performing Arts is the city's venue for theatrical productions and entertainment.
The San Francisco 49ers NFL football team has its headquarters and practice facilities in Santa Clara. On Wednesday, November 8, 2006, the 49ers announced their intention to move the team to Santa Clara in time for the fall 2014 season, after negotiations failed with the city of San Francisco to build a new stadium.

Day Trip to Santa Clara CA and nearby parks
On this day trip we started at Alviso County Park on the shoreline of San Francisco Bay walking the trails along the salt marshes, where the Ohlone Indians lived for centuries; then walked through the pretty rose-filled garden campus of Santa Clara University where the historic Mission Santa Clara de Asis is and Mission revival architecture; visited the Triton Art Museum and sculpture garden; and was blown away by the breathtaking San Jose City Rose Garden, we ended with a short hike in the Ulistac Natural Park, and of course a brewery! Perfect day full of so much beauty. ????

“Art Environments: Curatorial Roles and Responsibilities” by Jo Farb Hernandez
“Art Environments: Curatorial Roles and Responsibilities” by Jo Farb Hernandez
Scholarly research into art environments, which provides the opportunity for comprehensive, non-biased, and in-depth interpretation and analysis, is essential prior to initiating any professional plan for conservation and preservation. Taking a broad view of the worldwide phenomenon of these invented spaces, Jo Farb Hernández will explore the range of curatorial and documentation parameters essential for success, based on her groundbreaking survey of art environments created by self-taught artists from across the Spanish mainland, and informed by her work with SPACES (Saving and Preserving Arts and Cultural Environments), the world’s most important archives of these monumental sites.
Hernández reminds us that due to the complexity of these sites, curators who have done the research must insist on framing the parameters of the way this art is described, defined, and interpreted, and must not let the facile descriptions or simplistic interpretations of the media override the ability to provide a professional analysis. Detailed case studies must be contextualized with historical and theoretical references to a broad range of interlocking fields, including art, art history, anthropology, vernacular architecture, area studies, and folklore, because so doing provides an opportunity for viewing art environments through a variety of lenses and collaborating in a trans-disciplinary manner to approach a more thorough and complete understanding of these multi-leveled and multi-coded displays.
Hernández’s project Singular Spaces: From the Eccentric to the Extraordinary in Spanish Art Environments, introduces and examines forty-five artists and their intriguing and idiosyncratic sculptures, gardens, and buildings. Most of these had never been previously published, let alone professionally documented. Her powerpoint presentation will feature her photographs of many of the noteworthy Spanish sites, along with comprehensive information about the associated site plans and inventories that augment this project, making her encyclopedic study a model for the field.
While each art environment is unique and idiosyncratic, what most do have in common is that many face similar existential predicaments in terms of community response and governmental pressure. It cannot be denied that the fame accorded Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí’s works has impacted general response to other non-standard constructions within Spain, for example. However, cognizance of his works has not necessarily been associated with the willingness of local building inspectors, municipal councils, or urban planning committees to bend regulations inscribed in local property ordinances or enshrined in civic improvement strategies in order to preserve these extravagant sites and allow them to flourish. It is up to us, then, as curators who have photographed these sites, documented the work, interviewed the artists—and no doubt taken their time away from their work—that we be prepared to support and forcefully advocate for their preservation in whatever way is needed. Comprehensive research and rigorous documentation provides us the tools and the scholarly veracity to do so with force and conviction.

Taking the Art to the Streets: How the Citizens of Los Angeles Saved Watts Towers
When the assorted community activists and artists banded together in 1959 to save Sabato Rodia's Towers from City bureaucrats who decreed demolition, sneering that if Pisa's Leaning Tower were in L.A. they'd take that down too, the genre of art environments had not yet even been defined. Those ―ordinary‖ citizens, whose fight against City Hall was later buoyed by national names like Buckminster Fuller and Carl Sandburg, only knew that this was a series of sculptures and monuments that enlivened their spirits, and that they must not be destroyed. They worked hard to do so—and are still working hard, more than fifty years after the success of the stress test proving that the Towers were strong and stable, capable of withstanding any earthquake, hail storm, or rain torrent that might occur in L.A.—and some of the original Committee members, along with new recruits, are still clashing with City departments in order to ascertain that the ongoing conservation work is done correctly and professionally.
