Event detail
Vietnam's Emerging Generation
Gallery Maya is pleased to announce An Exhibition of Young Contemporaries 2008: Vietnam’s Emerging Generation. Dang Thao Ngoc (daughter of Dang Xuan Hoa) is joined together with her husband, Ta Dinh Khiem, and Duong Thuy Duong in this group exhibition to introduce some of the finest emerging young talent in contemporary Vietnamese painting.
Ngoc has chosen like her father to focus on the people around her as subjects for her work, and uses her distinctive style to incorporate them into her work. Khiem in contrast uses the abstract form to express his inner feelings and his communication with his surroundings. Duong, who has lived and worked in Germany, uses portraits as a form of expression – reflecting her feelings on her homeland..
Ngoc and Khiem graduated from Hanoi University of Fine Art in 2005, while Duong is presently continuing her painting studies at the Halle College of Art and Design Burg Giebichenstien, Germany. Group exhibitions include “Half of Year” in Dong Phong Gallery, Hanoi, and “The Other Side” in maison de arts, Hanoi.
