Gia Lam just might be the perfect place for a Hanoi studio. Green fields and quiet surround Lionel Descostes's home and workspace, both rare finds in our bustling and ever more concrete city. Perhaps this space is especially fitting for Lionel, since isolation has been essential to the development of his work over the last eight years. Completely secluding himself in his studio to think and make, Lionel allowed his work to grow and mature into a truly impressive body. Embroidery takes dedication and patience and Lionel has both in spades. Lucky for us, he's adorning the gallery's walls with his fabric in October. Lucky for you, you're invited. For now, a sneak preview. IMGP0105.jpg IMGP0168.jpg IMGP0144.jpg IMGP0245.jpg IMGP0220.jpg
