\u201cRemembrance\u201d, the title of the solo show at 10 Chancery Lane Gallery dedicated to Dinh Q Le and curated by writer David Elliott, can be read in two ways.<\/p>\n
The most pointed one, as intended by its curator, is as a tribute to the work of this exceptional Vietnamese-American artist, who died in 2024.<\/p>\n
But a significant thread of remembrance also runs through Le\u2019s work in his constant reflections on the Vietnam war (1955-75) and its ongoing aftermath.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn Vietnam, it\u2019s called the American<\/em> war,\u201d underlines Elliott, who has been engaging with Le\u2019s work since 2015.<\/p>\n The show\u2019s selected pieces are mostly from a series of woven photographs considered Le\u2019s signature works.<\/p>\n These are often made using famous pictures printed on a large scale, cut into strips and woven with chromatically contrasting photos, or other images he superimposes, to create layered meanings and suggest new possibilities or interpretations of what we see.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
