HCMC – Artist Talk by Truc Anh

Wed 18 Jun 2014, 6 pm
Galerie Quynh

From the organizer:

You are invited to an artist talk by Truc-Anh on the occasion of his current solo show “oNiReaKHoWaRiGNoRaLiSMe“.

Truc-Anh will discuss the major themes in his exhibition and some of the stories that have inspired the works. With a creative practice that reflects a dizzying world of sensorial memories and dreams, Truc-Anh makes work full of paradox moving between representation/abstraction, jubilation/despair, affirmation/ doubt, centred composition/all over painting and so on. Truc-Anh seeks beauty not through the harmony of forms but through emotional engagement, vulnerability, autobiographical stories and construction of personal mythology.

During his artist talk, Truc-Anh will encourage the audience to play an active role in sharing their own interpretations. A dialogue with friends in his social network has already begun, in fact, as Truc-Anh has been posting images of his new work on his Facebook page, posing the question ‘What do you see?’ With responses ranging from the comical to the deeply personal, this playful exercise touches on the theme of pyschoanalysis prevalent in the exhibition.

The event is free and open to public.

Language: The talk will be conducted in English with a Vietnamese translation.
