NEW YORK - Cynics who view pricy abstract art and scoff “a kid probably painted that” are finally right.
Now the seventh grade student from Vietnam is hosting his first solo exhibition, at the George Berges Gallery in Manhattan’s upscale SoHo neighborhood. The exhibition titled “Big World, Little Eyes,” which opened on Thursday and runs through Jan. 2, comes years after the artist who started painting at age 4 made his first sale.
Chu first picked up a paintbrush after begging his mother, who owns an art gallery in Vietnam, to allow him to paint with his older brothers.“My mom told me I was going to have an exhibition in New York. So, I was like, ‘Oh, let’s make a big painting for this.’ That took like three months,” Chu said.
His work is brilliant. Please stop quantifying it with a dollar amount. His quality of work & precision of thought is at par with masters & he is a prodigy. So stop quantifying his work in money. It's worth a hell of a lot more.
