Indocement

From Exhibition LINES UPON RHYTHM December 2022 at Vin Gallery Vietnam:

He took his focus in a unique way by highlighting the shapes and designs of mass products that are available in the market. Those commodities are commonly found and displayed everywhere with bright colours which can also be found in his artwork characteristics producing wonderful compositions.

“Lines” will be the main feature in this show, to present how he’s adopting and appropriating the lifestyle of contemporary society closely related to consumerism. Creating lines with rhythm and drawing with bright colours while at the same time, he’s playfully criticising and celebrating contemporary society often becomes

irrational when lured by consumerism. And the rhythm composition of colours and lines will reenact fantasies that capitalism has done to their products.
