Painter Trinh Long and “Life” exhibition

Exhibition: 5 Aug – 12 Aug
Viet Art Centre

Trinh Long opens an exhibition of paintings he created during a decade spent struggling with his disability.

Ten years ago, an accident left painter Trinh Long in paralysis. After this tragedy, he began his quiet life and creation. And 10 years of endless attempt finally turn into achievement – his own exhibition with a meaningful name “Life”!

” Life is like climbing a steep mountain. One wrong move and you can slip and fall. To reach the peak, one must strive hard not to slip. I’m an unlucky climber who has slipped, but I have tried not to fall down to the bottom of the fatal abyss”, he said, ” With the support of my family, my friends and acquaintances, I have tried to climb back, little by little. Maybe I will never reach the peak, but I still have to climb, to try day by day. For me, even a little progress is a great success…”
