(VOVWORLD) - A solo exhibition entitled “Soul Energy” by Vietnamese artist Henry Le is underway at Arsenale Nord in Venice, Italy from October 2 to 21.

Italy’s MoCA Cultural Association is holding its first solo exhibition of a Vietnamese artist.

The exhibition, curated by Chiara Canali and promoted by MoCA and the Arte Laguna Studio, presents 40 large-scale pictorial works and an installation of human-sized iron sculptures.

Henry Le, whose real name is Le Huu Hieu, was born in 1982 in Ha Tinh province and lives and works in Hanoi. With an architect's past, for more than ten years Henry Le has chosen artistic research as a priority experience of his life, placing it at the center of every reflection, idea, and visual practice.
