 ẤT TỴ, what ?

Phuc and Victor's exhibition draws inspiration from the Year of the Snake (Ất Tỵ in Vietnamese), which will occur in 2025. This Wood Snake year symbolizes wisdom, transformation, and mystery. The artists explore these themes through various artistic techniques, including lithography, mixed media art, art on products,  painting and drawings.

The exhibition reflects the snake's symbolism of change and renewal, as represented by its ability to shed its skin. By experimenting with different materials and techniques, Phuc and Victor aim to create a constantly evolving visual expression that mirrors the snake's transformative nature.

Their fascination with ancient printing techniques, such as lithography, adds a mystical element to their work. The unpredictable nature of these processes aligns with the snake's association with mystery and beauty. Through this approach, Phuc and Victor embrace the concept of constant transformation, allowing their artwork to evolve and change, much like the snake shedding its skin.

The artists' use of mixed media techniques, which may include collage, assemblage, and experimental methods, further enhances the theme of renewal and adaptability. This diverse approach to art-making reflects the Wood Snake's qualities of growth, creativity, and flexibility.

By combining traditional techniques with modern experimentation, Phuc and Victor create a unique exhibition that celebrates the Year of the Snake's cultural significance while exploring themes of wisdom, transformation, and mystery through their evolving artistic expressions.
