Hai has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Vietnam, Japan, the Philippines, the United States, Portugal, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands. He received his BFA in Studio Art from Harvard University and is a member of the Vietnam Fine Arts Association. See more of Hai’s work here.

He has participated in group and solo exhibitions in Romania, Italy, Ireland, Austria, Portugal, and Hungary. See more of Andrei’s work here.
