Regent Phu Quoc unveils its Pursuing Fantasia art exhibit
Featured at the exhibition are exceptional pieces of contemporary Vietnamese art
Regent Phu Quoc has announced its latest art exhibition for the season: Pursuing Fantasia: Journey to The Enchanted Island.
Pursuing Fantasia is a captivating showcase of contemporary Vietnamese art, serving as a unique dialogue between the lacquer sculpture of Lamphong Studio and the silk painting of Nguyễn Minh Quân.
Curated by the esteemed Vietnamese art curator ChuKim, the upcoming exhibition invites viewers on a journey through a fictional space where visual art opens new horizons.
The exhibition opens on Wednesday, 9th April, and will run through September 2025 at the Regent Phu Quoc Gallery.
Regent Phu Quoc general manager Sriram Kailasam said of the upcoming event: “We believe in creating enriching experiences that go beyond a typical resort experience. This exhibition, Pursuing Fantasia: Journey to The Enchanted Island is our commitment to showcasing the vibrant talent of Vietnamese artists. We aim to provide our guests with authentic cultural encounters, highlighting the depth and diversity of Vietnam’s artistic heritage.”
Into enchantment
The “enchanted island”, as depicted in the name of the gallery showing implies a direction towards Phú Quốc, known for its immense natural beauty and rich experiences.
“Journey” references not only a physical trip in this direction, but invites the viewer into an inner exploration where the world of beauty and the surreal intertwine in personal experience.
As viewers delve deeper into the exhibition space, they also enter a dialogue with themselves between the real and the virtual, between the familiar and the strange.
ChuKim remarked: “This exhibition is not just a journey through existing landscapes but also a voyage into the depths of thought and emotion. The exhibition evokes a dialogue between Vietnamese lacquer sculpture and silk painting, where flat art and spatial art blend in the same breath of fantasy. The artists’ creations invite viewers to explore a world where the boundary between reality and dreams becomes more fragile than ever.”
