Exhibition “The Facebook of Le Quang Ha”
Opening: Sat 15 Jun, 6.30 pm
Exhibition: 16 – 30 Jun 2013
Manzi Art Space
14 Phan Huy Ich, Hanoi
Manzi art space is proud to present the ‘Facebook of Le Quang Ha’ featuring a series of current sketches by this Hanoi based artist.
Known as one of the leading Vietnamese contemporary visual artists, for more than two decades, Le Quang Ha has quietly produced one of the most coherent and nuanced bodies of artwork in Vietnam. In his art, there is always an unexpected link between his assertion of emotional statements and the figurative.
In the series of drawings on show this time Ha has captured the emotional essence of his subjects and interpret it with a deeply felt understanding of humour and grace.
About Le Quang Ha
Born in Hanoi in 1963 and graduated from the Hanoi Industrial College of Fine Arts in 1992, Le Quang Ha avoids traditional, academic subjects in his art, and instead chooses to address issues that many artists prefer to overlook or even ignore in their work. There is much vitality, meaning, and social critique in the brutal honesty of his art. The works present a sophisticated discourse on the clashes between tradition and the modern values of contemporary Vietnam. Apart from exhibitions in Vietnam, Ha has also taken part in shows in Germany, China, Switzerland, Hong Kong, Japan, USA, and Great Britain. His paintings are in the permanent collections of the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum, Japan and the Singapore Art Museum.
