Exhibition "Breath of Life" by Trinh Thang Opening: Sun 26 Jun 2016, 10 am Exhibition: 26 Jun - 09 Jul 2016 Exhibition House, 16 Ngo Quyen, Hanoi The exhibition "Breath of Life" by Trinh Thang will feature 45 among more than 200 painting of him, marking his creative breakthrough over the past year. Trinh Thang's artworks are initially quite self-absorbed and innocent. He unintentionally simulates anything but not ignores the flow of life. Trinh Thang obviously stands between two extremes: one side is the innocence and the other is the responsibility of those who understand life.

' Let his artworks drift and express itself freely as a breath of life, just like the title of the exhibition.
