Abdul Vas has painted Brian Johnson again and again, using very basic techniques, with bold strokes containing a very narrow range of colors. The trick is how he creates different shades of the same color, making his palette unique. Vas has created his own vision of what art and rock´n´roll are, fusing the two in a very original way, unlike anything we are used to seeing within the expanded world of contemporary art.
Abdul Vas lives and works between Ho Chi Minh City and Madrid. His works have been exhibited in the United States, Latin America, Asia, and Europe, and are included in various international collections.
