22 Gallery (HCMC) in collaboration with Artonis will organize the exhibition "The Dream of Your Name" by Pham Hai Nguyen until August 25 in HCMC. The exhibition introduces 35 acrylic works, composed from 2022 to present, with critic Ly Doi as curator.
Previously, Pham Hai Nguyen and Hoang Nhat Quang won the "Aspiration for Man". Artist Thanh Chuong commented: "You are free to express and paint what you like, from which solid, soulful drawings appear".
After winning the Men's dec award, Pham Hai Nguyen received an exhibition invitation from Artonis and 22 Gallery. This is my second solo exhibition, after "Multi-Dimensional Viewpoint" in Hanoi. Pham Hai Nguyen said that the award has brought him great motivation and confidence, helping him to be steadfast in his path of abstract painting, hoping that each work will leave a special mark on the audience.
Painter Hoang Van Diem assessed Nguyen's paintings as a combination of childhood innocence and modern artistic thinking, inspired by UNESCO but transformed creatively, breaking traditional rules. The special thing is the appearance of the English word as a "code" to suggest, forcing viewers to reflect. The layout is open, bold in color, rich in symbols, reflecting both a childish and profound perspective.
Pham Hai Nguyen, the statue of UNESCO and Vietnamese artist Le Kinh Tai, admired freedom but the message was still clear. On the occasion of the exhibition, his family will take him to Kon Tum to visit Le Kinh Tai's workshop before returning to Lang Son to study.
The head coach Ly Doi shared that although the future is unpredictable, this period will be a beautiful memory for the students, when they can live fully with love and encouragement from their family and teachers.
