In the Pinault Collection, Thu Van Tran aims to ‘transcribe’ violence through beauty.

“Before the Storm” is a title that sounds like an alarm given the climate problem. This is the new exhibition of the Pinault Collection at the Bourse de Commerce. A place steeped in history that, among other artists, welcomes an artist just feeding on history. Thu Van Tran gets his material from his country of origin Vietnam. War and colonial history are the focus of his work.
