The subjects include cities, family photos, and some motives of Dong Ho traditional paintings.
Doan called the exhibition Dipolar because it means two poles, a technical term from physics indicating the resistance in the things and phenomena of life. The name represents the near and far, young and old, familiar and strange, abstract and concrete.
The exhibition of 30 paintings done between 2005 and 2010 is sponsored by the German Consulate General in HCMC.
Khai Doan is a Vietnamese German artist, graduated from Fine Arts and Design in Germany and currently living and working in HCMC. His first exhibition in
Vietnam titled “Joint Venture” was held 2005 in Hanoi and HCMC. For more information visit the website www.ho-chi-minh-city.diplo.de and www.khaidoan.com.
Dipolar will be on at the gallery at 97A Pho Duc Chinh Street, District 1 until December 15.
