Opening: Fri 21 May, 5 pm
Exhibition: 21 May – 4 June
Au Co Gallery

On the occasion of 1 year after the foundation of Au Co gallery, we are please to present our new event, “Do” Viet contemporary art, the first exhibition. This is the first time in Viet Nam there is an exhibition which is completely dedicated to Do paper – a unique material of Vietnamese fine art – with the participation of several well-recognized artists who have significantly contributed to the development of fine art on Do paper. Nine artists who participated in the exhibition are: Nguyen Si Bach, Nguyen Van Cuong, Luong Xuan Doan, Pham Viet Hong Lam, Duong Viet Nam, Nguyen Quan, Ly Truc Son, Phan Cam Thuong, and Nguyen Xuan Tiep.

From this exhibition, you may find that there is no boundary for what can be effectively expressed on Do. Any topic, issue, with either traditional or contemporary perspective, can ultimately find its way to the climax with Do. With the participation of quite accomplished artists, some of which has dedicated a major part of art career for Do paper, and some are critics who had laid the foundation of art critique for artworks on Do, we hope that “Do” Viet contemporary art, the first exhibition will bring to the audience a memorable experience and the appreciation for a special material of Vietnamese fine art.
