Reflecting Hai Hoang\u2019s desire to \u201cslow down time with intention,\u201d it signals a strategic pause in performance art. Hai Hoang shares: \u201ctheatre and cinema [have] a very important part in my art processes,\u201d namely for their temporality. The curated placement of each painting, the functional architecture: every decision guides the audience along a slow and controlled movement. This flow is not mere suspension in time, just as Hai\u2019s \u201cIntermission\u201d cannot be understood as a disconnect from the outside world: to stay immersed in the paintings is to pause intentionally. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI chose that title because it [&#8230;] doesn\u2019t really get into the point. It holds you in a space that makes you linger [\u2026] It\u2019s not about resolve, it is about having the ability to make pause, and to let that journey continue.\u201d The importance of continuity even in pause is reflected in the interplay between \u201cIntermission\u201d and its Vietnamese double, \u201cN\u01a1i n\u00e0y\u2026 N\u01a1i kia.\u201d Hai Hoang explains: \u201cIntermission is the middle part, and &#8216;Here and Elsewhere&#8217; is the [beginning] and the end. But there is a little \u2018&#8230;\u2019 in the middle of the [Vietnamese] title, and I think this is what the English title is really about, that which is in between.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7317\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7317\" style=\"width: 2560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7317 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/artnation.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Khong-gian-trien-lam-Intermission-\u2013-Noi-nay\u2026Noi-kia.-Anh-cung-cap-boi-Gate-Gate-Gallery.1-scaled.webp\" alt=\"Exhibition view of \u201cIntermission\u201d.

A moment of contemplation and curiosity inspired this painting: \u201cI was staring at the blank canvas, and I didn&#8217;t know what to do, but I [could] see a door. I [could] see the wideness that reminds me of the world\u2026 I think the door is a very significant thing; it represents passage and the choice of either taking, walking into it, or just staring at it.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Urging the audience to follow uncertainty, Hai Hoang displays the painting \u201cat that corner because people tend to walk straight in\u2026 If you put that there, then people will have to walk into \u2018Soul\u2019\u201d which resides inside a brick bird nest. This peculiar architectural structure fulfils a double function. It forcefully and gently places the audience at a close proximity with \u201cHomesick\u201d, which is almost too intimate for comfort. Then, it invites the audience to surround \u201cSoul\u201d inside a near-enclosed space.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7320\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7320\" style=\"width: 2560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7320 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/artnation.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Hoang-Hai-Soul-Linh-hon-2026-son-dau-tren-toan-40-x-30-cm-chup-tai-khong-gian-trien-lam.-Anh-cung-cap-boi-Gate-Gate-Gallery-scaled.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/artnation.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Hoang-Hai-Soul-Linh-hon-2026-son-dau-tren-toan-40-x-30-cm-chup-tai-khong-gian-trien-lam.-Anh-cung-cap-boi-Gate-Gate-Gallery-scaled.webp 2560w, https:\/\/artnation.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Hoang-Hai-Soul-Linh-hon-2026-son-dau-tren-toan-40-x-30-cm-chup-tai-khong-gian-trien-lam.-Anh-cung-cap-boi-Gate-Gate-Gallery-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/artnation.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Hoang-Hai-Soul-Linh-hon-2026-son-dau-tren-toan-40-x-30-cm-chup-tai-khong-gian-trien-lam.-Anh-cung-cap-boi-Gate-Gate-Gallery-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/artnation.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Hoang-Hai-Soul-Linh-hon-2026-son-dau-tren-toan-40-x-30-cm-chup-tai-khong-gian-trien-lam.-Anh-cung-cap-boi-Gate-Gate-Gallery-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/artnation.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Hoang-Hai-Soul-Linh-hon-2026-son-dau-tren-toan-40-x-30-cm-chup-tai-khong-gian-trien-lam.-Anh-cung-cap-boi-Gate-Gate-Gallery-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/artnation.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Hoang-Hai-Soul-Linh-hon-2026-son-dau-tren-toan-40-x-30-cm-chup-tai-khong-gian-trien-lam.-Anh-cung-cap-boi-Gate-Gate-Gallery-2048x1365.webp 2048w, https:\/\/artnation.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Hoang-Hai-Soul-Linh-hon-2026-son-dau-tren-toan-40-x-30-cm-chup-tai-khong-gian-trien-lam.-Anh-cung-cap-boi-Gate-Gate-Gallery-1200x800.webp 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 2560px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 2560\/1707;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7320\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hai Hoang, \u201cSoul\u201d (2026), oil on canvas, 40 x 30 cm, exhibition view.

This technique of display conventionally features metal columns to achieve an industrial aesthetic. Favouring warmth over sterility, Hai Hoang traded metal for wood. The back of the canvas is strikingly bare, exposed. If showcasing the back of canvases is considered taboo, Hai Hoang invites his audience to contemplate \u201cSoul\u201d in its entirety. In this painting, the shadow does not belong to the subject, but exists independently and wholly.

The artist contemplates: \u201creflective surfaces have the capacity to deceive you. [&#8230;] The more you look at [water], the more it doesn\u2019t really make sense. So perhaps in this exhibition, I want to give that feeling of not being very sure, of not knowing what is true or not.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><b>\u201cDREAM\u201d AS A PLAYFUL QUESTION: WHERE ARE YOU?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cDream\u201d is still and light, dreamy as its title plainly suggests. Here, the quiet is a colourful tranquillity to be taken in like a deep breath. The translucent colours inspire levitation, yet a certain dynamism inhabits this seemingly undisturbed haven. The mischievous black cat, hugged by a subtle halo that renders it otherworldly, claims its place as the most animated inhabitant of the scene.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many worlds mingle in this lively painting. Soft and vibrant strokes dance on the tapestry; the celebratory primary colours are reminiscent of Tet. This strangely familiar tapestry recalled a memory I was not entirely sure I had: that I had seen this carpet when curiously entering my parents\u2019 room in an old family house in Hanoi as a child is as likely as it is untrue. Here is that uncertainty that Hai Hoang skilfully masters. Such disorientation embeds the audience in liminal timelines, producing delight. The white and blue vase has a similar effect: surely every Vietnamese family has had, at one time or another, this quintessential ceramic vase, decorated with flower branches or dragons on clouds, most likely made in Bat Trang.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7314\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7314\" style=\"width: 1707px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7314 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/artnation.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Hoang-Hai-Dream-Giac-mo-2026-son-dau-tren-toan-160-x-120-cm.-Anh-cung-cap-boi-Gate-Gate-Gallery_-scaled-e1774771883720.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1707\" height=\"1993\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/artnation.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Hoang-Hai-Dream-Giac-mo-2026-son-dau-tren-toan-160-x-120-cm.-Anh-cung-cap-boi-Gate-Gate-Gallery_-scaled-e1774771883720.webp 1707w, https:\/\/artnation.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Hoang-Hai-Dream-Giac-mo-2026-son-dau-tren-toan-160-x-120-cm.-Anh-cung-cap-boi-Gate-Gate-Gallery_-scaled-e1774771883720-257x300.webp 257w, https:\/\/artnation.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Hoang-Hai-Dream-Giac-mo-2026-son-dau-tren-toan-160-x-120-cm.-Anh-cung-cap-boi-Gate-Gate-Gallery_-scaled-e1774771883720-877x1024.webp 877w, https:\/\/artnation.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Hoang-Hai-Dream-Giac-mo-2026-son-dau-tren-toan-160-x-120-cm.-Anh-cung-cap-boi-Gate-Gate-Gallery_-scaled-e1774771883720-768x897.webp 768w, https:\/\/artnation.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Hoang-Hai-Dream-Giac-mo-2026-son-dau-tren-toan-160-x-120-cm.-Anh-cung-cap-boi-Gate-Gate-Gallery_-scaled-e1774771883720-1316x1536.webp 1316w, https:\/\/artnation.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Hoang-Hai-Dream-Giac-mo-2026-son-dau-tren-toan-160-x-120-cm.-Anh-cung-cap-boi-Gate-Gate-Gallery_-scaled-e1774771883720-1200x1401.webp 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1707px) 100vw, 1707px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1707px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1707\/1993;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7314\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hai Hoang, \u201cDream\u201d (2026), oil on canvas, 160 x 120 cm.

Hai Hoang achieves this effect by playing with angles and proportions; he blurs dimensions without our suspicion. The tall, pointed green cones are suggestive of pine trees, yet the absence of details prevents us from verifying our assumption. Still, these unspecified trees remove us from the Vietnamese-accented bedroom and place us towards North America or Europe.

Through this blurring effect, the artist honours accessibility: \u201cI always think art is about everybody, and it belongs to everyone [\u2026] When an artist makes a painting, the material is borrowed from the world.\u201d To borrow beauty and suffering is to owe, and a debt must be paid: \u201cyou cannot take away a piece of culture, a piece of message, away from people who need to hear it the most.\u201d By inviting \u201ceverybody\u201d to belong to and in art, Hai Hoang\u2019s paintings redefine the art world as a collective space. This exhibition serves to \u201cremind people of what really matters, and that is to be in harmony with yourself, with the world, and to know that solitude is also part of a collective.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7315\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7315\" style=\"width: 1707px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7315 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/artnation.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Hoang-Hai-Lonely-Child-Dua-tre-co-don-2026-son-dau-tren-toan-200-x-150-cm.-Anh-cung-cap-boi-Gate-Gate-Gallery_-scaled-e1774771852474.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1707\" height=\"2065\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/artnation.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Hoang-Hai-Lonely-Child-Dua-tre-co-don-2026-son-dau-tren-toan-200-x-150-cm.-Anh-cung-cap-boi-Gate-Gate-Gallery_-scaled-e1774771852474.webp 1707w, https:\/\/artnation.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Hoang-Hai-Lonely-Child-Dua-tre-co-don-2026-son-dau-tren-toan-200-x-150-cm.-Anh-cung-cap-boi-Gate-Gate-Gallery_-scaled-e1774771852474-248x300.webp 248w, https:\/\/artnation.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Hoang-Hai-Lonely-Child-Dua-tre-co-don-2026-son-dau-tren-toan-200-x-150-cm.-Anh-cung-cap-boi-Gate-Gate-Gallery_-scaled-e1774771852474-846x1024.webp 846w, https:\/\/artnation.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Hoang-Hai-Lonely-Child-Dua-tre-co-don-2026-son-dau-tren-toan-200-x-150-cm.-Anh-cung-cap-boi-Gate-Gate-Gallery_-scaled-e1774771852474-768x929.webp 768w, https:\/\/artnation.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Hoang-Hai-Lonely-Child-Dua-tre-co-don-2026-son-dau-tren-toan-200-x-150-cm.-Anh-cung-cap-boi-Gate-Gate-Gallery_-scaled-e1774771852474-1270x1536.webp 1270w, https:\/\/artnation.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Hoang-Hai-Lonely-Child-Dua-tre-co-don-2026-son-dau-tren-toan-200-x-150-cm.-Anh-cung-cap-boi-Gate-Gate-Gallery_-scaled-e1774771852474-1693x2048.webp 1693w, https:\/\/artnation.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Hoang-Hai-Lonely-Child-Dua-tre-co-don-2026-son-dau-tren-toan-200-x-150-cm.-Anh-cung-cap-boi-Gate-Gate-Gallery_-scaled-e1774771852474-1200x1452.webp 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1707px) 100vw, 1707px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1707px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1707\/2065;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7315\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hai Hoang, \u201cLonely Child\u201d (2026), oil on canvas, 200 x 150 cm.

His paintings share muted, earthy colours, yet they show lively, joyous, and whimsical settings that tenderly hug the solitary subjects. The combination of bright accents of colours, layered on top of diluted foundations, enables Hai Hoang to \u201cmellow [his previous themes] down, to depict scenes that have this kind of really quiet atmosphere, and to paint things that [don\u2019t] really make sense but [are] not out of place in a way.\u201d The importance of softening, or maturing, stems from the artist\u2019s own journey: \u201cWhen I graduated [&#8230;] I felt small, and that\u2019s why I wanted to mellow my voice a bit, to try to speak softly [&#8230;] and to keep my eyes open to new things [&#8230;] In my paintings, I think you have to keep your eyes open to see new possibilities and new shapes that come out, what goes away, what you want to keep.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Like his faces, Hai Hoang\u2019s shapes are elusive yet sharp in their suggestive power. In \u201cLonely Child,\u201d he fills the vast canvas with hints of lotus flowers and seemingly withering stems, creating a lyrical dreamscape. These shapes, at once blurry and clear, effectively blend the known with the unknown, creating liminality: \u201cI did not actually paint lotuses, but put shapes that <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">suggest <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">them to the audience.\u201d Hai Hoang\u2019s exhibition consistently issues gentle suggestions. The magic in his technique lies in its ability to show us possibilities without telling us of them.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7319\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7319\" style=\"width: 2560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7319 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/artnation.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Hoang-Hai-cung-doi-ngu-Gate-Gate-Gallery-tai-trien-lam-Intermission-\u2013-Noi-nay\u2026Noi-kia.-Anh-cung-cap-boi-Gate-Gate-Gallery-scaled.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1715\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/artnation.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Hoang-Hai-cung-doi-ngu-Gate-Gate-Gallery-tai-trien-lam-Intermission-\u2013-Noi-nay\u2026Noi-kia.-Anh-cung-cap-boi-Gate-Gate-Gallery-scaled.webp 2560w, https:\/\/artnation.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Hoang-Hai-cung-doi-ngu-Gate-Gate-Gallery-tai-trien-lam-Intermission-\u2013-Noi-nay\u2026Noi-kia.-Anh-cung-cap-boi-Gate-Gate-Gallery-300x201.webp 300w, https:\/\/artnation.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Hoang-Hai-cung-doi-ngu-Gate-Gate-Gallery-tai-trien-lam-Intermission-\u2013-Noi-nay\u2026Noi-kia.-Anh-cung-cap-boi-Gate-Gate-Gallery-1024x686.webp 1024w, https:\/\/artnation.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Hoang-Hai-cung-doi-ngu-Gate-Gate-Gallery-tai-trien-lam-Intermission-\u2013-Noi-nay\u2026Noi-kia.-Anh-cung-cap-boi-Gate-Gate-Gallery-768x515.webp 768w, https:\/\/artnation.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Hoang-Hai-cung-doi-ngu-Gate-Gate-Gallery-tai-trien-lam-Intermission-\u2013-Noi-nay\u2026Noi-kia.-Anh-cung-cap-boi-Gate-Gate-Gallery-1536x1029.webp 1536w, https:\/\/artnation.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Hoang-Hai-cung-doi-ngu-Gate-Gate-Gallery-tai-trien-lam-Intermission-\u2013-Noi-nay\u2026Noi-kia.-Anh-cung-cap-boi-Gate-Gate-Gallery-2048x1372.webp 2048w, https:\/\/artnation.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Hoang-Hai-cung-doi-ngu-Gate-Gate-Gallery-tai-trien-lam-Intermission-\u2013-Noi-nay\u2026Noi-kia.-Anh-cung-cap-boi-Gate-Gate-Gallery-1200x804.webp 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 2560px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 2560\/1715;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7319\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hai Hoang with the Gate Gate Gallery team at the exhibition \u201cIntermission\u201d.

Together, Hai Hoang and Gate Gate Gallery \u201creinterpret the meaning of accessible art.\u201d The Gallery\u2019s name is symbolic of its aim: to offer an alternate door into the art space by championing new voices, talents, and perspectives. Beyond spatially embodying the message of Hai Hoang\u2019s paintings, Gate Gate Gallery diversifies, thereby enriching the artistic landscape of Vietnam. Such an act of world-building embeds itself within a collective effort to reconfigure the world of fine art into an inclusive home to all. Through Gate Gate\u2019s invitation, Nguy\u1ec5n V\u0169 Thi\u00ean An joins this collective as she supports Hai Hoang, curatorially and otherwise, through each step of the creative process behind \u201cIntermission.\u201d The facilitation of such meaningful partnerships is a testament to the Gallery\u2019s dedication to its representative artists.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIntermission\u201d displays eleven introspective canvases, each one a sanctuary designed to celebrate solitude. Calling for our curiosity, this exhibition leads us by the hand through half-open doors;\u00a0 even more gently, it asks us to ease into the spaces in-between, and stay.
