Singapore – Solo Exhibition “Journey of the Soul” by Tran Thanh Canh

Exhibition: 12 – 30 Apr 2014
Di Legno
188-6 Tanjong Katong Road, Singapore

From the organizer:

Having started drawing as a young kid prior to starting school, Thanh Canh’s talent was soon discovered when a group of artists found him painting on the sand by the beach in his hometown Phu Quoc. A recipient of numerous awards, he graduated as a top student with Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from University of Fine Arts of Ho Chi Minh City in 2009. Thanh Canh currently lectures in his alma mater and has been a professional artist since 2005.

Presenting two collections of his latest works, Thanh Canh sought inspiration painting them from the essence of nature. In the landscape collection, his works pulsate with vast expanse of colour and bring vibrancy to nature’s best. In the figurative series, he uses metaphors to articulate the dynamics of a changing society and its impact on the traditional cultural values as witnessed in the young Vietnamese generation.
