Happy New Year of the Horse!

The Year of the Horse arrives not as a promise of comfort, but as an invitation to motion, courage, and renewal.

It asks us to hope not for certainty, but for momentum, for the strength to move when the path is still forming beneath our feet. This is a year that favors those who trust the intelligence of motion: the wisdom that emerges only once we begin, not before. We may hope for clarity born of action, for the shedding of habits that no longer carry us forward, and for the return of vitality to places grown stagnant. The Horse teaches that freedom is not escape, but alignment, when purpose and movement become one.

Let us hope for brave beginnings, for conversations that open rather than close, for journeys that expand our sense of scale and belonging. Hope, too, for discipline equal to speed: the ability to pause without losing direction, and to advance without burning out. Above all, the Year of the Horse invites us to hope for confidence without arrogance, independence without isolation, and progress without forgetting where we come from.
Art Vietnam Gallery wishes all its loyal friends and collectors a grand 2026. May this be a year in which we move with grace, choose with conviction, and discover that the truest horizon is the one we dare to ride toward.

This is something we've never done before, it's new and SO special. Somehow I feel that we were "caught" by the show, the book, and YOU. You don't know how much you inspired us, with your dreams, your energy, your emotion. This is also "what it meant to be", words cannot tell how much we appreciate this "duyên" that you brought us Catherine Karnow Photography

Art of the Week
Dinh Thi Tham Poong
Between You and Me, 2014
Natural Lacquer on Wood
26.5" x 19"
-----------
Dinh Thi Tham Poong (b.1970, Lai Chau, Vietnam) is an ethnic minority artist of Muong and White Thai heritage. We see the complex nature of civilization in the applied geometric images of her lacquer works. Mixing realism with fantasy, Poong incorporates surrealistic elements into portrayals of the intrinsic relationship between humans, earth and spirit. Her traditional craft involves meticulous layering and polishing of the lacquer, forming layer upon layer of material, exposing and submerging image and shape in this centuries-old medium.

Vietnam: Tradition Upended runs through November 9 and has been curated by Debra Fram and Barbara Richards of the Flinn Gallery, and Suzanne Lecht of Art Vietnam Gallery in Hanoi, Vietnam.

⚡️Art of the Week ⚡️

Vo Tran Chau (b.1986, Binh Thuan, Vietnam), one of the youngest artists in this exhibition, was born to a family of traditional embroiderers. She chose textiles as the medium for her artistic practice, mostly collected from the city dock where unclaimed cloth and old clothes, from ships from around the world, are discarded. She delves into the social and cultural history of Vietnam to highlight issues surrounding exploitation of women, labor, consumption and waste. The act of piecing together remnants of textiles, imbued with their own personal stories, is Chau’s way of reconstructing stories lost in history. The images are round like a medal, symmetrical like a mirror image.

Vietnam: Tradition Upended runs through November 9 and has been curated by Debra Fram and Barbara Richards of the Flinn Gallery, and Suzanne Lecht of Art Vietnam Gallery in Hanoi, Vietnam.

"Like a musician composing his piece, I explored deep down inside my inner world, my unconscious, my wounds and my different cultures to compose the diary of my life with the past, present and future. We are living in a chaotic time, we have no time to look within our soul, no time to think in a spiritual way, we live too fast in a materialistic world. It's time for us to stop to find the origins of sensation. I remember the words of a writer that I love a lot: "Once the river has reached a big ocean, there is no way it could return to its source." An artist has the fortune to return to his origin after so many years of wandering. That is the invaluable miracle."
(Nguyen Cam's writing about his works, Hanoi 2014)

ART of the WEEK

Nguyen Cam (b.1944, Haiphong, Vietnam), our most senior artist, was one of the first to build a practice using a variety of traditional materials and subject matter in unique ways. He views every material as a potential medium for creative expression. Cam’s mixed media works are composed of freestyle calligraphy marks intermixed with a variety of materials including sand, cardboard, and paint, often incorporating used rice sacks which are cut apart and sewn together. His work reflects on his past, intertwining memories with mediums, past and present.

Vietnam: Tradition Upended has been curated by Debra Fram and Barbara Richards of the Flinn Gallery, and Suzanne Lecht of Art Vietnam Gallery in Hanoi, Vietnam.
