Gấp Đôi Artist Group

In September 2023, the Gấp Đôi group introduced themselves to the public through their first exhibition titled “Finding a Thread” – a statement marking a reunion after many years apart from school, in search of reconnecting with painting and with one another.

In October 2024, that promise continued with “Tying a Thread” – where the joy of reunion and the heartfelt support from art lovers gave the artists greater confidence to strengthen their commitment to art.

And on June 3rd, 2026, the Gấp Đôi group is honored to reunite once again and greet audiences through the third chapter of the journey: “Weaving a Thread.”

From the shared bond of companionship...

At its core, “Weaving a Thread” is a reminder of everything crystallized from companionship and a profound love for painting. Along this journey, each member is like a thread carrying a distinct personality and artistic direction, yet all share a powerful commitment to what they express on paper, canvas, silk, or fabric. Gấp Đôi finds its common identity in the way these independent personalities do not erase one another, but instead coexist harmoniously and uplift one another within a shared collective flow.

...to the dimensions of privacy

If the previous stages of the journey were spaces where we blended into the collective, leaning on companionship and a love for painting as support, then “Weaving a Thread” is hoped to become a pause filled with inner strength. It closes the first chapter of a collective artistic journey while opening a new turning point: a space where we step back to look more deeply into our private worlds, to delve into silent concerns and the demanding depths of the creative self.

Within the artistic fabric called Gấp Đôi, each artist resembles a colored thread carrying a unique identity, destiny, and realm of contemplation:

Some choose to move against the current of time, anchoring their souls in national cultural heritage and profound Eastern aesthetics. There, traditional values and old memories are not merely images of the past, but are reborn and elevated through a contemporary lens, gentle yet proud. It is where personal perspectives find themselves intertwined with the cultural legacy embedded within collective memory.

Others immerse themselves in the hurried rhythm of urban daily life. Familiar street corners, unfamiliar figures, or the contrasting colors of the city are captured through sensitive hearts, transforming ordinary simplicity into poetic artistic moments.

Some channel their concerns into ecosystems – spaces where nature and humanity interact intimately every day. These works become sighs, soothing touches, or quiet reminders of the sacred connection between humankind and the surrounding world.

And there are those who choose to return, through painting, to deeper contemplative values about humanity through the lens of faith, hope, and doubt. Within this silent realm, painting becomes a whisper, a prayer, where artists peel back layers of consciousness in search of stillness within themselves.

The Gấp Đôi group respectfully invites audiences, companions, and all art-loving souls to join us, observe, and together “weave” a meaningful bond before opening new creative horizons.

Your presence is a great honor for us!

The exhibition takes place from 03/06/2026 to 08/06/2026 at 218A Pasteur, Xuân Hòa Ward, HCMC.
