“Untitled Fictions in the Age After Divinity”
Manzi Art Space
2 Hang Bun alley, Ba Dinh district
The exhibition features works by Bang Nhat Linh, Le Quy Tong, Nguyen Manh Hung, and Nguyen Tran Nam –the four important contemporary artists of Vietnam today.
Focusing on the visual relationships of disjointed elements and unusual scales, Nguyen Manh Hung’s series of oil paintings depict activities and events of daily life in an absurd world.
Bang Nhat Linh – a dedicated collector of war memorabilia, continues his study into the depth of memories and history with a poetic video installation.
Le Quy Tong, as usual, directs the viewers to a brutal reality which is hidden underneath a veil of luxurious and cold colour palette of his paintings.
And Nguyen Tran Nam via his installation ‘Like A Variant’, attempts to reveal the dark, hidden and forgotten fraction between the past and presence, faith and retribution.
