Echoes of New York

About

daeuArt Gallery and Viet Chu Photography are thrilled to announce the opening of their collaborative art show, “Echoes of New York,” on September 12, 2024, in Tribeca. This unique exhibition will feature captivating fine-art photography by Viet Chu, complemented by abstract pieces by Annabella Ducheneaux, a multimedia storyteller represented by daeuArt Gallery.

Viet’s photography captures the quiet and often overlooked moments in a city that usually rushes by in a blur. He delves into the subtle narratives and tensions within everyday scenes, highlighting the extraordinary depth in ordinary moments. Each photograph in this exhibit was captured at the height of the pandemic and portrays Viet’s recent artistic journey and his observations of life’s delicate intricacies, focusing on beauty rather than the imbalanced and negative news. Ducheneaux’s work showcases “daeuArt Notes,” a series of visual translations of sounds into art, using a technique developed by Daeu Angert, the abstract artist and founder of daeuArt Gallery. Ducheneaux’s artwork illustrates the sounds of New York, captured in the exact locations as Chu’s photographs four years later. By documenting the city’s recovery, these images tell a compelling story of the pandemic’s impact on New Yorkers and, by extension, the world. Through this exhibition, we hope to share a harmonized perspective, a journey through the lens and canvas, where every image and artwork is a doorway to once-in-a-lifetime subtle echoes of life in New York City that we hope never to repeat.

About Viet Chu

Born in Vietnam, Viet’s early life spanned across Vietnam and Taiwan before he spent his adolescence in the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan area. His adulthood has been shaped by the vibrant streets of New York City, where his artistic vision has flourished, balancing out his 25+ corporate years in Technology Development & Wireless Communications, Viet’s work encompasses a wide range of subjects, from street scenes and landscapes to architecture, aerial, beauty, and portraiture. His images are driven by the desire to capture the esoteric beauty of people and things, in their own presentation, and all inherently unique. Viet loves to travel and explore, and was only a few hundred miles short of reaching Antartica to complete his 7th continent when he was recently in Ushuaia, Argentina. Viet’s entry into photography was inspired by his father, who captured the essence of beauty in endearing portraits of Viet’s mother and family. At the age of 13, Viet received his first camera, an Olympus OM-1 SLR, a gift from his father who recognized his budding interest in photography even before he had taken his first shot.

The show will run from September 12 through 14th, at 72 Warren St, New York, NY. We are pleased to offer free admission to the exhibition, in line with our commitment to making art accessible to everyone.
