Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features a striking representation of the Earth against a dark, fiery backdrop. The colors are bold and vibrant, with the planet's surface depicted in shades of blue and white, while the surrounding sky is dominated by fiery oranges and reds. The composition is centered on the Earth, which appears to be glowing from within, with a distinct halo of light surrounding it. The overall effect is one of power and intensity, evoking a sense of the Earth's fragility and the potential for both destruction and renewal in the cosmic forces that shape our planet. The artist's intention may have been to comment on the precarious balance of our environment and the ongoing challenges of sustainability and climate change. ...

Truong Tan
B.1963, Vietnamese

Born in Hanoi in 1963, Truong Tan is one of Vietnam’s most innovative and daring artists. As the first openly gay artist in Vietnam to freely address issues of homosexuality in his art, he has also proven influential due to his relentless originality as a painter and his groundbreaking works of performance and installation in the 1990s. Moving from his early autobiographical work, Tan’s current practice (often times incredibly labour intensive) ponders grand themes of love, courage, prejudice and conflict. ...

Recognized as Vietnam’s leading contemporary art gallery, Galerie Quynh has been promoting contemporary art practice in the country for over two decades. The gallery is known internationally for its consistently focused programming and educational initiatives. Working with a select group of emerging, mid-career and established Vietnamese artists, the gallery also exhibits the work of distinguished artists from around the world.

Sao La has since evolved into an independent artist collective spearheaded by To Lan and Dalat-based artist Nguyen Duc Dat. In summer 2020 with support from the Goethe-Institut, the gallery launched the not-for-profit CáRô, an educational initiative that provides art education for students aged 13 – 18 who show demonstrative interest in the arts. ...
