The Ariadne Line’ exhibition - Hom Nguyen
LE TOUQUET-PARIS-PLAGE

From 19/10/2024 to 18/05/2025
Generosity. Resonance. Insight. Resilience. These are just some of the words that sum up the work of artist Hom Nguyen, sounding like a victorious struggle against the growl of the Minotaur, a cruel mythical creature who, like despair, tends to want to devour all those who lack foresight and confidence in Humanity. For Hom, this was without counting on the tenuous thread of life, like Ariadne, which keeps him out of reach of the consequences of dramatic circumstances. The exhibition he is presenting at the Musée du Touquet-Paris-Plage-Edouard Champion is organised into three large spaces, themselves divided like a labyrinth.The first space, on the ground floor, is devoted to the artist's new and perhaps most personal exhibition: ‘Le fil d'Ariane’ (Ariadne's Thread). The second area offers a thematic retrospective of Hom's work, with around twenty of his most emblematic works, including many faces of children and the elderly.The third, more unusual area allows visitors to immerse themselves in the artist's intimate life, with a display of personal objects that provide a better understanding of Hom's character and humanity.The entire exhibition has been designed to be accessible to visitors of all ages. The whole exhibition has been designed to be accessible to visitors of all ages. Children, who feature prominently in the paintings, are invited to come and meet an artist who has kept his childlike spirit and who, as a self-taught artist, wants to pass on and share a positive message, full of hope for the future and for humanity.
