• The gallery has just received the surprise blessing of six new “craft-art” works from Saigon-based artist Khoa Le. Each of these single edition, hand-painted works are the result of Khoa’s international travels before the pandemic, and the time for reflection and creation she was afforded during the years of the lockdowns.

  Gallery vừa nhận được sáu tác phẩm thủ công mới rất đẹp của hoạ sĩ Sài Gòn “Khoa Lê”. Như hoạ sĩ giải thích bên dưới, sáu tác phẩm là kết quả của các chuyến đi du lịch nước ngoài trước dịch covid của chị, phản chiếu thời gian và sự sáng tạo của hoạ sĩ trong thời gian phong toả vì dịch bệnh.

• “During my travels, I often find joy in collecting unadorned items, imagining how I can breathe new life into them through vibrant colors. The six displayed objects may appear unrelated, but each serves as a paradoxical memento of my adventures to various destinations.”

•  “The contrasting light and dark paper mache masks were acquired during my trip to Venice, while the three small wooden boxes hail from a craftsman’s shop in Hanoi, and the Bunny Box originates from Japan.”

• “These artworks received their second lease on life while I was confined to my humble home during the years of the Covid lockdowns.”
