Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This abstract cityscape artwork features a muted color palette and a fragmented, pixelated composition. The predominant shapes are angular and geometric, creating a sense of the urban landscape. Distinctive architectural elements, such as tall buildings and a prominent tower, can be discerned amid the abstracted forms. The style evokes a modernist aesthetic, with the artist employing techniques like digital manipulation or glitch art to distort and deconstruct the realistic depiction of the city. The artwork likely aims to capture the fragmented, disorienting experience of the modern urban environment. ...

Vo Tran Chau
Artist
Vo Tran Chau
1986, Vietnamese

Woven into Vo Tran Chau’s practice is the intrinsic emotionality of found fabrics and used clothes, retaining within them ambiguous, yet still pertinent histories. The act of threading together her squares of textile is as though a reconstruction of the stories lost in grand narratives. In her earlier works, Vo Tran Chau navigates various sites with cultural or personal significance, subjecting them to a pixelation that draws attention to the murky waters of history. The images, blurred from view, evade our attempts to see and point to the very nature of memory: hazy, and at times wilfully amnesic. In more recent works, the artist continues to explore the act of remembering, this time with those whose histories overlap her own. Her encounters with Jeju Island – its textile techniques, the personal stories, and the religious practice of Muism – inform her spiritually-charged works, asking further questions of life and death and reincarnation. Through her method of image making, Vo Tran Chau recognises the depth of historical wounds passed down the generations, and stitches them back as a way to heal. ...

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. In keeping with its mission to develop a sustainable ecosystem for the arts in Vietnam, the gallery collaborates with artists, curators, museums and art spaces locally and internationally to organize talks and lectures as well as to produce publications in English and Vietnamese.
