Roses - Pear Blossoms Exhibition by Xeo Chu

Xèo Chu is a young artist born in 2007, with a family background rich in art and culture. Starting his passion for painting at the age of 4, Xèo Chu, along with two older brothers, learned to draw under the guidance of artist Nguyễn Hải Anh, a mentor with whom he has been closely connected for over a decade. Unbound by the constraints of traditional Vietnamese art, Xèo Chu pursues an abstract style expressed through representative paintings of landscapes like Mù Cang Chải, Hạ Long Bay, and still lifes of roses and pear blossoms.

Having organized numerous solo exhibitions both domestically and internationally, Xèo Chu has garnered attention from the art-collecting community in Vietnam and abroad for his unique artistic perspective. To date, Xèo Chu has accumulated a "portfolio" of over 100 paintings and held solo exhibitions in New York (USA), Singapore, Vietnam, London, and Dubai. Xèo Chu has been compared to the American abstract expressionist Jackson Pollock by reputable foreign newspapers, showcasing a fresh and unfamiliar viewpoint, even for familiar scenes and landmarks. This reflects the young artist's evolving maturity in art as he explores the world around him.

Xèo Chu holds the belief that "I love nature, especially the scenic beauty of Vietnam, which is also the main theme for many of my paintings. I only want to paint what I can see with my own eyes." His familiar subjects include the landscapes of Vietnam and the flower garden around his mother's house, transformed into works of art for viewers to experience his unique perspective. For Xèo Chu, colors and materials are merely tools to bring his creative thinking and imagination to life through art.

At this exhibition, we are showcasing Xèo Chu's Rose and Pear Blossom series, paintings that embody Chu's abstract expressionism. Displayed alongside contemporary art, we've also collaborated with Vietnamese artisans to create a series of contemporary-designed pieces that represent the traditional craftsmanship of Vietnam in a modern, unique light. The collection exhibited explores the culture of our traditional crafts, nurtured and evolved through the hands of the new generation.
