“Time for Help Vietnam 2” was selected for the following curated collection:
“Inspired by Jean-Paul Sartre’s famous quote, this curation explores the human condition in all its complexity. Between lightness and gravity, solitude and community, each work reflects the inner tensions of existence: the injunction to choose, to position oneself, to define oneself. The paintings and drawings gathered here reveal introspective figures, anonymous crowds seen from above, and suspended gestures.
They convey the beauty and sometimes the violence of our freedom: the freedom that forces us to invent our own meaning, to confront the vertigo of choice, but also to create our own path. This exhibition is an invitation to face up to our responsibilities, but also to celebrate the creative force within our freedom. As if each painting became a mirror of our own decisions, our impulses, and our doubts.
Curated collection by Chaltiel Attali (Attaly) for Singulart Platform.
TIME FOR HELP SERIES
The artwork featured in this curated collection is from the Time for Help series. This series portrays children from orphanages in Vietnam and Nepal, using personal photographic references as starting points. Through painting, I reimagine their presence by negotiating absence and presence within the composition.
White space refers to gaps and interruptions in their early lives, while also suggesting potential: what remains open and unresolved. Color emphasizes an inherent vitality and inner life – qualities intrinsic to childhood – even under constrained or adverse conditions.
