From saigon-gp.com.vn:
The exhibition will show 30 latest lacquer works from 2005 to 2010 of Vietnamese German artist Khai Doan. Dipolar – means two poles, a technical term from physics – indicates the resistance in the things and phenomena of life. The pair of terms such as near and far, young and old, familiar and strange, abstract and concrete and such is extremes but still closely linked to each other and are reflected drastically in the whole works.

During the exhibition, the artist and his team will accomplish a performance which is connecting the idea Dipolar with the high quality artistic lacquer ware techniques. Viewers can observe the transformation of work through each grinding step and this work will be changing daily until the end of the exhibition.

Khai Doan, a Vietnamese-German artist, graduated of Fine Arts and Design in Germany. He is currently living and working in Ho Chi Minh City. His first exhibition in Vietnam titled “Joint Venture” was held 2005 in Hanoi and HCM City.
