Committed to representing contemporary artists from Southeast Asia whose artworks contain powerful messages, Vin Gallery is pleased to present Mahdi Abdullah's personal collection, "Memory and Body Mythology" to art lovers in Vietnam. "Memory and Body Mythology" interweaves his personal experiences with the social, political upheavals and contexts he faced. From enduring armed conflicts and the devastating 2004 tsunami in Aceh to witnessing contemporary social unrest, Mahdi has turned these intense memories into works of art. In the process of composing, he was inspired by Barthes' concept of legend as a way of expression, expressed in the various paintings he presented. Through his works, he will reveal a combination of realist techniques and symbolic forms to capture profound memories and experiences.
