The Details
As its title suggests, "Condensed Milk" is certainly inspired by the can of very popular Condensed Milk in Viet Nam. This famous condensed milk is an entire childhood memory for Nhichancanh, and the artist believes it is the same for many others. For Nhichancanh, childhood was filled with countless spoonfuls of condensed milk eaten directly without mixing. When waiting for his father to come home from work, he would hold a small can of milk taken from a six-pack, finish it, and then his father would arrive. In the mornings, while his parents were still asleep, he would sneak into the kitchen to scoop a few spoonfuls of milk...
As for the water puppetry part, every time passing by Tô Tịch street, Nhichancanh always wanted to buy a water puppet. Water puppetry is a beautiful and unique form of performance in Vietnam, yet Nhichancanh never had an artwork featuring it. And since condensed milk mixed with water tastes delicious (though not water from the puppetry stage), Nhichancanh created and carved the print "Condensed Milk", featuring Mr Thọ, characters as water puppets, and a water puppet background. The quote wishes for longevity, being both delicious and nourishing.

What makes handmade linocut prints unique?
- Handcrafted Process: The original design is meticulously conceived and then hand-sketched onto a linoleum block. Each print is carved and printed entirely by hand. Factors such as humidity, ink application, and pressing technique ensure that every print possesses unique characteristics. These variations are the true hallmark of linocut art, affirming the product's handcrafted nature - no two prints are exactly alike. This stands in stark contrast to mass-produced digital prints.
- Premium Materials: The artwork is printed on traditional Vietnamese Dó paper. This material not only captures the true spirit of the piece but also highlights its delicate, natural texture. The organic feel of the paper fibers and the subtle variations in the print create an experience vastly different from mass-produced prints.
- Limited Edition: We release only a very limited number of these handcrafted prints. Each print is numbered, titled, and signed by the artist Nhichancanh.
- Versatile Decor: With standard dimensions , the print fits easily into frames available at local shops. It serves as a sophisticated accent for living or workspaces and makes a meaningful gift for family and friends on housewarmings, birthdays, or other special occasions.
