ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Lê Thị Hiền's "Nếp gấp 4" is a compelling sculptural exploration of form, light, and material. Carved from a solid block of black granite, the artist meticulously crafts sharp, decisive "folds" that disrupt the inherent stillness of the surface, revealing a multifaceted, dynamic spatial interplay. The sculpture not only celebrates the raw yet enduring beauty of natural stone but also invites viewers to contemplate intrinsic movement and the dramatic interaction between light and shadow that generates profound emotional depth. Each facet and angle tells a story of tension and harmony, establishing a powerful statement on geometry and structure within contemporary art.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Lê Thị Hiền
(1957 – )Born in 1957 in Son La, Le Thi Hien is a Vietnamese female sculptor and art educator.

Working primarily with stone and metal, her artworks blend structural rigor and minimalism with softness, lyricism, and a subtle sense of femininity. She has participated in numerous exhibitions, creative workshops, and artist residency programs in Vietnam and internationally—including in Hungary, Canada, Belgium, the Netherlands, Malaysia, the Czech Republic, and the United States. Le Thi Hien is recognized as a significant contributor to the development of contemporary Vietnamese abstract sculpture and has positively influenced generations of young artists.
