| "Space of Buddha" in laquer by Trinh Quoc Chien |
CANADA - The exhibition opened on November 22 at the “Art Square” Gallery, introducing artworks by five contemporary artists from Vietnam: Trinh Quoc Chien, Vu Huong Quynh, Nguyen Minh Thanh, Ngo Van Sac and Nguyen Quang Minh. The art, which represents five ways of dreaming, features a dream-like quality — including Chien’s Buddhist-inspired mixed media lacquer paintings, Sac’s intricate wood engravings and Thanh’s haunting, poetic water colors. Since his graduation from the Hanoi Fine Arts institute in 1993, Chien has been developing a unique style to express his perspective of oriental abstractionism, according to a press release from the Canadian organizer. Art Square Gallery is located on 334 Dundas Street West (across the street from the AGO), Toronto. The exhibition will close on December 5. [
