The four new Đỗ Thanh Lãng paintings showcased at NGUCHONOBAY are a continuation of the aesthetics and themes (conformation, confrontation, transgression, freedom) set out in his previous body of work (which were exhibited at Galerie Quynh in 2016), but are visually both more quirky and focused and – given a decidedly more humour-filled approach – lighter in mood. In a brilliant demonstration of the bond between members of the Sao La collective, the figure of the superhero (appearing at Sao La’s shared studio and in NGUCHONOBAY in another incarnation, courtesy of another artist) is featured prominently in these works by Đỗ.
