VietNamNet Bridge – Le Quy Tong, one of Viet Nam’s most talented contemporary artists, will return with a new exhibition called True Gold at the HCM City-based Dia Project on November 5.

A painting by artist Le Quy Tong is on display at his latest exhibition True Gold in HCM City.

The exhibition will showcase his works using a technique combining painting, decorated pattern and found imagery, all of which he experimented with in his last exhibition, True Blue, in Ha Noi in 2015.

Sourcing images from mass media and archives, Tong’s latest works transcends time and dissolves borders in a global study of political discord, a press release said.

Born in 1977 in Ha Noi, Tong graduated from the oil painting department of the Ha Noi University of Fine Arts. Tong’s paintings reflect the people and the rhythm of life of Ha Noi.

His paintings and self-portraits have been welcomed by international art critics and the public, which have been exhibited in the US, the UK, Japan, France, Thailand and Viet Nam.

He has won top prizes at both portrait and painting contests organised by the HCM City Fine Arts Museum in 2009.

True Gold will open at 6pm at 1057 Binh Quoi Street in Binh Thanh District. It will run until January 5.
