Born to a royal family in Hue, Chi graduated from the Faculty of Law at Hue University in 1971.
But his real love was painting and the self-taught artist went on to become a painter of renown at home and abroad.
His anti-war paintings using Chinese ink brought him fame from around the world even before the end of the American War.
After the war ended in 1975, his oil paintings were sought after by collectors from many countries.
The exhibition will remain open until Friday at 26, Le Loi Street.
