After preparing for the debut show for three years, from 2014 to 2016, Manh said the exhibition is a journey to discover himself, and share his experience about the “inner space”.

Born in the northern province of Vinh Phuc, the 32-year-old artist is currently a member of the Vinh Phuc Association of Culture and Art, as well as the Viet Nam Fine Arts Association.

In 2011, Manh won a prize at the Young Fine Arts Festival. Three years later, he was awarded a second by the Viet Nam Fine Arts Association at the Young Fine Arts Festival 2014.

Since 2012, he has used strings to create installations, which, according to him, are to show his regret for old memories.

His Inner Space show will open to the public from 5.30pm on Sunday and run until July 23. Viet Nam Fine Arts Museum is at 66 Nguyen Thai Hoc Street.
