An exhibition view of Ngo Dinh Chuong's woodblock prints at his solo exhibition in Salon Natasha, April 1992.

The first exhibition Salon Natasha presented was Ngo Dinh Chuong's solo show.
Ngo Dinh Chuong (1934-early 2000s) was born in Hanoi. He was the younger brother of the artist Ngo Manh Quynh, who had been a renowned art teacher in 1950s. Ngo Dinh Chuong worked as an illustrator for children's books and an animator at the Cartoon Films' Studio. As an artist he worked with various media, including silk paintings, pastel, and lacquer engravings; among all the artist was most well-known for his woodblock prints. The delicate black and white prints feature landscapes, seascapes, and portraitures of women bathing or sitting motionless in a minimalist Eastern room.
Ngo Dinh Chuong was a member of the Vietnam Fine Arts Association. He was also a former colleague (from the Cartoon Films' Studio) and a friend of Vu Dan Tan.

From 1992, Salon Natasha began to organise exhibitions. The projects and collaborations were mostly initiated and curated by Natasha Kraevskaia. Its first three solo exhibitions in 1992 featured works by Ngo Dinh Chuong, Khuc Thanh Binh, and Tran Thieu Quang. They were all artist-friends of Vu Dan Tan.
