| A solo exhibition by Bui Cong Khanh celebrates ArtXchange Gallery’s decade-long relationship with this artist from Vietnam. The exhibit traces the evolution of Khanh’s work from post-graduate to the present through his transition from gouache on paper to lacquer and mixed-media paintings. Surveying past and present artistic views and Khanh’s playful take on traditional and modern motifs of Vietnamese culture, this exhibit runs through December 30.
