Xeo Chu paints at his home in Saigon.

According to the painter, paintings of the ocean were done during the fourth Covid outbreak in Vietnam, when he was staying in southern Ba Ria - Vung Tau Province.

Through these artworks, Chu wants to convey his love for nature, encouraging people to find peace of mind and happiness from simple things in life.

In the six-day exhibition, two online auction sessions will be held, on July 18 and 20. The money from these paintings will be used to support doctors and nurses at the Medicine University Hospital in Saigon's District 5.

Chu (birth name: Pho Van An), 14, had a solo exhibition at Georges Berges Gallery in New York City in 2018. Georges Berges, owner of the gallery, is convinced that Chu is a young version of Jackson Pollock, American painter and a major figure in the abstract expressionist movement in the 1940s and 1950s.

He has sold a painting for over $150,000.
