Galerie Quynh will host HCM City-based visual artist Ngô Đình Bảo Châu's solo exhibition from August 14 to October 3.

The exhibition Trông Thật Khác, Nhìn Thực Giống (Towards Realist Socialisation) features new works by Châu, who graduated from HCM City Fine Arts University in 2010.

Châu uses painting, installation and sculpture to express her interpretation about contemporary life and social issues, and explore the true meaning of existence.

Châu has participated in group shows and residency programmes in Việt Nam and abroad. She has had three solo exhibitions: My Eldest Sister in 2010, Silk of Light in 2013, and Out of Nowhere in 2014.

The exhibition is curated by Arlette Quỳnh-Anh Trần, director and curator of Post Vidai, a collection focusing on the transitional development of contemporary Vietnamese art.

The gallery is open from 10am to 7pm Tuesday through Saturday at 118 Nguyễn Văn Thủ Street in District 1. – VNS
