HÀ NỘI — Artist Nguyễn Minh Châu, a member of the Việt Nam Fine Arts Association,  recently had his first solo oil on canvas exhibition at the Toong Coworking Space at 8 Tràng Thi Street.

The exhibition, entitled Who am I, was the first of a series of exhibits organised by Toong and by the website Daugia.Vn in July 2016 to fashion a fresh, creative and inspiring space for members.

The series is held once every two months and gathers respected painters of the contemporary arts foundation.

Fine arts lovers can see 19 of Châu’s oil on canvas works in the current exhibit.

The exhibition is a milestone marking the professional maturity of the painter and his dedication to the arts.

“When I look back at the bittersweet years and see glorious belief fading into the past, for me right now the most splendid path lies in painting and painting only. It makes me realise that the air we breathe together and love for human beings are the most important values of life," Châu said.

Through the exhibition, the painter also wishes to share with admirers his opinions about “the voice of love and life in our age”, in which the arts are a place to venture and challenge.

“By using my limited strength to seek out the endless beauty of the outside world, I will be able to navigate myself to a brighter, higher and larger space than what we used to love and believe,” the Hà Nội born painter said.

The exhibition lasts until September 10. — VNS
