From the organizer:

REI Artspace would like to present the double exhibition “Ngẫu biến” by two artists Hồng Lĩnh and ng. anhanh.

For Hồng Lĩnh, painting is a way to connect the human condition through the words and lines of poetry, which are the imprints of life, of the soul with love for the homeland. Not only drawing poems on paintings, she also composed and published poetry books imbued with human love.

ng. anhanh comes to painting whenever she wants to express or convey an extraordinary state in which language has become completely powerless.

“Ngẫu biến” – When life is full of changes, the joys and smiles of children, as well as the tears that are falling on someone’s suffering face, can make the artist’s heart flutter. Emotions have turned language into verses, ideas. The streaks of color, brush strokes that seem to change with each heartbeat are trembling with sadness, fresh and sparkling with happiness overflowing in the mind. Words are no longer words, poetry is no longer poetry, the language of characters is mixed with visual language, colors and lines are sublimated emotions in each work.

“Ngẫu biến” – is the random variation of each work, as well as defining emotional moments. Not exactly artists choose to be creative and not necessarily creativity chooses artists. We choose each other. Beating/smearing/painting on canvas or paper or any other material, when emotions bounce back as a “causal” behavior, we will choose to change and improvise to harmonize in our own way.

Hopefully this impromptu duality will bring emotional changes to the audience.
