From the organizer:
Featuring artworks by Vuong Thao (1969, Hanoi), Dao Tan (1991, Hanoi) and Koa Pham (1993, HCMC).
Originating from contemplative emotions simmering within, artists Vuong Thao, Dao Tan, and Koa Pham convey their reflections on the social landscape through natural materials, undergoing multiple transformations to rediscover their primordial states: stone, charcoal, wood, water. Their works stand out due to the artists’ unique approaches while sharing an intriguing commonality: the interaction between artistic craft and the transformative processes of nature. – Excerpts from curatorial text by Nguyen Hai Nam.
Until Sep 21, 10 am – 07 pm, Tues – Sat,
Galerie Quynh, 118 Nguyen Ven Thu Street, D1,
From the organizer:
A solo exhibition by Vy Trịnh, curated by Thái Hà. Showcasing a series of new sculptures spread across three floors as well as a site-responsive sculptural installation, the artist’s first show with the gallery blurs the distinction between its exhibition rooms and the streets and pavements just beyond the gallery’s courtyard.
