From the organizer:

Come to exhibition “Nguyen Xuan Tiep & Soliloquy” by artist Nguyen Xuan Tiep.

“Everything is stripped bare to the core. Emotions sneak in, encircle and spread through every dimension of the painting when we have our eyes upon the Fairy and then the shape-shifting strange birds, the characters of the leaves, wind, and water which are not meant to be understood.

It seems like the Vietnamese Dó Paper has laid down a Sacred Temple for Nguyen Xuan Tiep’s spirit to soar, to take off on a solo adventure, to soliloquize to find reveries in the realm of this temporary human life.

Just silently waiting for beauty and the grace of Zen. The Bodhi leaves within the painting where the eyes of anyone who, after a brief moment of calmness, has reached enlightenment.”

– Artist Luong Xuan Doan –
