Sasquatch: Nguyen’s art explores mythical creatures.
HCM CITY — An exhibition of 15 paintings inspired by graffiti by Vietnamese-American artist Burt Quoc Nguyen is now on show in HCM City.
Unknown Monsters at San Art features images of horrible faces done using watercolours on canvas.
For Nguyen, who signs as Tyke Witnes/The Eyewitness on his works, graffiti is like monsters. The feeling when he comes across a graffito hidden between alleyways or clinging to broken walls is akin to seeing a monster revealing itself – magnificent, magical and mysterious.

HCM CITY — An exhibition of 14 abstract paintings titled Strikes and Gutters by Scottish artist Daniel Joel Hume is now on at Himiko Visual Cafe in HCM City.
"Strikes and Gutters is, for me, an analogy of life," Hume said at the opening last Thursday.
"It’s a short phrase spoken in a film by the Coen brothers called the The Big Lebowski.
"I suppose it’s a bowling phrase, describing how things in life can be ‘strikes’.
"Sometimes you are up and all is well, while at other times things aren’t going your way. It can sum up how you’ve been recently without explaining why."

HA NOI — Traditional art is getting a modern twist at a new exhibition of paintings by veteran artist Nguyen Xuan Tiep.
The show Phuc Linh (Spiritual Revival) opened in the capital yesterday.
Instead of painting on canvas, the 52-year-old painter uses do (poonah) paper. The material is traditionally used in folk art and famously produced in Dong Ho Village, on the outskirts of Ha Noi.
