72A Nguyen Trai Street, Thanh Xuan District,
“Long Lasting dreams” consists of 9 paintings on canvas – the latest works of Bui Quoc Khanh, created in 2019. The themes include social criticism, cultural, environmental, educational issues, and a visual language influenced by pop-art and graphic design, Bui Quoc Khanh’s paintings depict a vibrant space overflowed popular metaphorical images of from ancient times to the modern age, from the West to the East.

HCMC-Exhibitions “Necessary Fictions” & “Broken Relationships”
The Factory Contemporary Arts Centre, 15 Nguyen U Di street, Thao Dien ward, District 2
Through their exhibition “Necessary Fictions”, artists Tammy Nguyen and Ha Ninh Pham respectively reveal the architectural and anthropomorphic dimensions of desire – their images playfully morphing the worlds of human, flora and fauna – revealing the study of time and morality as a deeply flawed, exploitative landscape whereby human whimsy often rules supreme.
‘Broken Relationships’ is an investigation by Nguyen Ngoc Thach into the chaos of the current world order and the loss of ethical ground in a human-to-human social contract
HCMC- Exhibition “Phenomenon ÷ (Time x Space)”
![](https://vnn-imgs-a1.vgcloud.vn/hanoigrapevine.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Exhibition-Phenomenon-Yohei-Yama.jpg)
VinGallery, 6 Le Van Mien street, Thao Dien ward, District 2,
Yohei Yama returns to Vin Gallery with his second solo project with the gallery, four years after “The Power of Semiosis” (2015). Yama derives his works from nature, spinning the waves of the cosmos and webbing together the rhythm of natural forces. His oeuvre is distinguishable by its repetition and layering of lines, colour, patterns and more often than not creating optical effects that swell and vibrate.
“Phenomenon ÷ (Time x Space)” envisions the universe and its life-cycles where the future becomes the present and the present becomes the past.
