Move on Asia 2010
LE QUY ANH HAO Disintegration 4min 20sec, 2010 Young artists do not get a lot of chances to show their works. Sometimes they use media that might not be communicated to art sponsors or viewers, who may have difficulties understanding and appreciating their works. However, such situation will not stop the artists from creation and experiment in art.
Le
Quy Anh Hao was born in better conditions compared to other contemporary
artists
from the Vietnam Fine Arts Academy. While at school, he did not take any
art
classes. Instead, he studied works by top artists through visual
experiences,
theory interpretation and practicing, which all helped led him to create
this
new media art. He participated in a modern art exhibition
<&ltSaigon Open
City>> (2006) with two art works — &ltThe Eighth Day> and
&ltLinking
Language&gt. The exhibition was a large scale training event for
artists of his
generation to show new media art. He continued to participate in a range
of
other art projects such as <&ltPace on Peace>> in Korea and
an art
performance festival in Hanoi in 2006. His art career has a long road
ahead,
and self-studying is a new experience for him. Many Vietnamese
contemporary
artists do not observe things in detail, and their personal feelings are
not
usually shown in their works. &ltDisintegration> is a rare
artwork. It shows
the last minutes of life in detail - the relationship between a father
and a son
with just a few minutes left. The last minutes of life cling to the
human mind.
The feeling stays but then disappears in that short moment of life. The
artist shows his image in the father’s shadow, a shattered feeling
torturing the
son. The prayer makes the two persons become one in their minds but they
are
separated in reality. This brings the father to the land of nothingness. Le
Quy Anh Hao’s hard work shows that the new generation of artists will
follow the
path of art, though it is gloomy and achievements are still far away.
Vietnamese
contemporary art remains alive and continues to develop, but it is not a
smooth
path because there are many who still do not understand, feel and share
it.
Still, the artists are going their way because they are artists
