Exposition Temporaire à : Mipec Riverside Long Bien Appartement du 06/01/2024 – 31/03/2024
Happy Ever After || Hoàng Thang Vĩnh Phong
Wishing hundred yars of happiness for newlyweds on thei wedding day expresses Vietnamese people's sincere desire for a lifetime of joy and fullfillment. What is happiness? What does it take to make us happy? These seemingly simple questions are hard to answer, since each person's idea of happiness is conditioned by a different life journey.
Trough the practice of art using traditional lacquer materials and experiments with different modern materials such as metals and synthetics, the limits of materials expand to change forms and spatial dimensions. These new techniques offer a visually tich experience, creating new emotional expressions and artistic concepts.
In this exhibition, I continue to develop the art project "A Thousand Portraits of Mattresses", a fusion of sculpture and painting that I've been pursuing for the past 10 years and will continue to do so in the future. Displaying mattress artworks alongside traditional paintings of people, landscapes, and objects, I want to invite reflections of people, landscapes, and objects, I want to invite reflections of life and its essence, of past and present, of time and space, while embracing dreams and raalities that humans bear.
The exhibiton is not my definition of happiness but merely my observations and reflections of life through the lines, forms, art, of beauty and grit, of happiness and suffering, and ultimately, the meaning of life. Translated by Dang Huong Giang.
