Other’s Reality

**30% of proceeds from the sale of Chau’s pieces will benefit Walk for Rice and the ACRS Food Bank.

 

Tobya Art Gallery is pleased to present the works of Chau Huynh for the second time. Her first solo show at Tobya Art Gallery was in June 2015 and it included large collage works with nine book art pieces bound by hand. Right after the opening of her show in 2015, Personalizing Vietnam: Wisdom of Time, she has been preparing for her second show, which opens May 2016.

Chau’s new exhibit, Other’s Reality, like her first exhibit, is composed of small, medium and large collage work. For this show, Chau utilized stretched canvas versus unframed canvas, along with print and drawing papers she used in the previous show. Her palette of colors have expanded beyond those featured in her first show. Chau’s use of pastel as well as textured finish contributes to the unique nature of her work. In Chau’s own words: “I experienced some happiness, quiet sadness and a lot of surprises working on this project as things slowly unveiled.”
