The exhibition will serve as a retrospective of Redington’s etching works; Hanoi Thunder, his collection of Hanoi centric frenetic landscapes which are entangled and overlaid with landmark symbolism.

This titled body of work is to be displayed alongside prints from his earlier epic folio “The Ten Kings of the Courts of Hell”, which was first shown in Hanoi back in 2002 at Art Vietnam. These two series are supplemented by single standalone etchings from throughout his print career.

Etching have been part of Redington’s work since the mid 1980’s and the artist became an elected member of the Royal Society of Painter Printmakers (UK) in 1994.

Born in London, he came to live in Hanoi 25 years ago and the Vietnamese capital became his muse, with his work since often focusing on a dialogue with the city itself.

Indeed, Hanoi holds a multitude of stories, particularly of those of developing modernity and ancient heritage combined in a rapidly changing urban landscape. The etchings in the exhibition in part portray his relationship with the city, which he views as a wonderland of contrast from his previous backdrop of London.
