The Details
Nhichancanh is deeply fond of Peppermint oil, since mosquito bites and motion sickness are frequent for the artist. Dầu gió is like a miraculous elixir, used as if it were a magical remedy, so Nhichancanh often draws or carves… Dầu gió. However, while earlier prints of Dầu gió were more basic, the artist has now added Lý - Trần motifs, evoking both the graceful dances of Lý - Trần court maidens and a strong sense of national heritage.
"Rubbing Rich" plays on the Vietnamese homophones: "Rich" hope "Rich", "Oil" hope "Oil" (Giàu- Dầu). The message of "Rich" is a combination of Dầu gió, Giấy dó, and Lý - Trần motifs. With the integration of Lý - Trần patterns, Nhichancanh intends for the artwork to be placed in a space that is both ancient and evocative. Lý - Trần motifs are often soft, flowing, and symbolic of lightness and grace while retaining majesty. This combination can be understood as a “bridge”: Giấy dó connected with craft villages and rustic life; Lý - Trần motifs tied to the court, beliefs, and the refined aesthetic spirit of the dynasty.

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.
