HCMC – Exhibition Behind the Known by Pham Tran Viet Nam

Exhibition: 05 – 19 Sep 2010
Tu Do Gallery

From Tu Do Gallery:

“Behind the Known” – the title of the exhibition expresses everything from obscurity, cruelty, and brutality, and so on. Behind the beauty of thoughts exists the ugliness of ignorance and insanity.

Nam is exploring what is behind the known and throwing it on his canvases. This doesn’t mean that his paintings are not beautiful. The beauty here comes from lovely craziness. Fine composition, strictly selected colors, and strongly expressive language constitute works of value in this exhibition.
