5 Under-Recognized Artists Getting Their Due in New York This Season

Exhibition | Bùi Thanh Tâm, 'Here on and after' at Eli Klein Gallery, New York, United States

Eli Klein Gallery in New York is presenting "Bùi Thanh Tâm: Here on and after," the Hanoi-based artist's first solo exhibition in the United States. The show features 13 new and recent paintings that explore Vietnam's colonial history, the aftermath of war, and the persistence of memory. Tâm, a leading Vietnamese painter of the postwar generation, incorporates traditional folk woodblock prints—Đông Hồ, Hàng Trống, and Kim Hoàng—into layered, collaged works. The sunflower emerges as a central symbol of resilience and rebirth, influenced by Anselm Kiefer and Francis Bacon, while addressing trauma from French colonialism to Agent Orange.
