From the organizers:

You are invited to the solo exhibition titled “Converse the Journey” by artist-sculptor Pham Sinh. The exhibition includes 45 large-scale acrylic-on-canvas paintings. These are the result of the artist’s hard work, a milestone in his artistic career.

When asked about the title “Converse the Journey”, Pham Sinh said: It’s the title of a book I’m working on, a chronological career diary, art included – paintings are also a type of emotion journal.

According to the artist, all humankind and nature are together on the journey to the future, all on the blue sphere spaceship in the vast, infinite, mysterious space. Each of us are only a dust particle, a sand grain, a tiny moment on that great journey. We converse with each other, with everything, and with ourselves. These conversations are at times sweet and full of love, and at other times, bitter and painful, lonely and miserable. Yet regardless of the situation, we have to move forward together to the future, it’s a journey full of mutual and individual emotions.

This exhibition is a page in the journal documenting the unforgettable moments in that great journey. This is the remnants of beings, of emotions of individuals, in their daily life, with concerns, sorrows, as well as happiness…
