The exhibition named “Dream” will be running through January 20 at Ngo Art Gallery at 21 Vo Truong Toan Street in Thu Duc City.

On display are 95 watercolor and oil paintings created by the 70-year-old artist over the last five years, through which he conveyed his deep love for his homeland Viet Nam. Some of them describe the beauty of natural landscapes in Viet Nam while others depict daily life of urban Vietnamese.

Monluc was born in Viet Nam in 1952. He and his family left Viet Nam to live in France when he was just 12 years old. He graduated from the French National School of Decorative Arts (École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs) with a degree in cinema.

He returned to Viet Nam to establish a company for animation production in HCM City in 1994 and decided to settle down in his motherland in 2019.
