"When idea and form melt into each other, the overall sense of spatial unity can echo the harmony usually reserved for the art of a well-established painter. The synchronicity of form and technique apparent in the canvasses of Pham An Hai reflects this happy meeting of intention and its visible expression through his abstract paintings."
