Tu Tran's first solo exhibition: "Poems by a girl who doesn't enjoy words" - Art as a form of self-exploration.

Tu's body of work is a mix of various materials, ranging from oil, watercolor, ink to print and collage. Amongst all of them, she has spent the most time experimenting with water color on dó paper. The rough texture of the paper and the translucency of watercolor combined creates the type of effect that she finds representative for her thinking flow: always unfinished, full of ambiguous emotions and overlapping stories.

"I rarely believe that what I have painted are actually mine. Whenever the painting process begins, my mind falls into subconsciousness. My works are results of my hands and heart. I hardly remember how I finish them. Stories I can't put into words become waves of feelings that control my brush movements. After "waking up" from painting, what I see is always fragments of impressions and emotions. Sometimes they harmonize. Sometimes they fight vigorously for attention. Most of the time I just have to let them out in order to understand layers of myself that I haven't discovered yet."
