Pham Tran Viet Nam’s works, created between 2017 and 2024, are currently on display at 22 Gallery. This presentation not only introduces a fresh viewpoint on art to its audience but also acts as a reflection on life, an effort to heal and soothe restless souls.

Hanoi-Bloom Within Nothingness
Until Apr 10,
Hanoi Studio Gallery, No. 23-25 Mac Dinh Chi Street, Ba Dinh District,
From the organizer:
Nguyen Minh Quan spends a considerable amount of time admiring flowers, observing people, coming and going, rising and falling within the inevitable bloom and withering. These folks, who are represented by flowers, burst forth with passion, warmth, and fantasies.
These “flower beings,” glowing in the moment, proudly display themselves and their exuberant joy. Flowers glow so brightly that we wonder if this is the “limit,” and what sort of grace allows for such beauty.
Then, in an instant, the color of the blossoms pervades the space, mingling with reality and melting into the universe.

Until May 4, 10 am – 07 pm, Tues – Sat
Galerie Quynh, 118 Nguyen Van Thu Street, D.1
From the organizer:
A major solo exhibition by Hanoi-based artist Pham Minh Hieu. Presenting work developed over the past 10 years, the exhibition reflects the core ideas that represent the artist’s practice. An exhibition of exhibitions, Untitled (7 Events) has theoretical underpinnings in speculative realism¹ and new materialism². Pham has created imaginative ‘total installations’ that immerse spectators in an aesthetic experience. This way of making allows for divergence where different disciplines and genres intertwine, their boundaries fraying and transforming.
Until Apr 14, 09:30 am – 06:30 pm, Tues – Sun

O Cocktail & Art Bar, 292/15 Dien Bien Phu, Ward 17, Binh Thanh District
From the organizer:
Russian artist Ivan Shevnesky has lived in Ho Chi Minh for more than 8 years, bringing forth a series of colorful paintings derived from his inner self, personal experiences, and journeys.
The state of attention represents the constant psychological evolution of humans. In an era where external factors increasingly cause distractions, paying attention becomes more complex and sophisticated. These factors manifest as multi-sensory information that we must continuously process, creating chaos in every aspect of life. Consequently, attention becomes a luxury and a desire in certain situations, evolving into syndromes that people proudly regard as innovations. Drawing parallels between internal and external chaos, Ivan conveys his observations on canvas with contemporary brush strokes and colors, rooted in European modern art.
