In “Nghê hehe”, Nhichancanh explores the image of the stone nghê guarding the gates of Bút Tháp Pagoda – a sacred and protective symbol (another reason is simply because it looks amusing: a big nose, a smiling mouth, or perhaps because the artist found this figure joyful).

In this artwork, Nhichancanh wanted the nghê to appear approachable by adding the familiar detail of a child’s headscarf. The nghê was also given whiskers and redesigned fur to look truly adorable, even adorned with a pearl necklace - altogether giving off a playful “hehe” (LOL).

Though the artwork is not very large, for the artist it still represents something rather new, since usually the largest size carved is around 35 x 35 cm. The hope is that “Nghê hê hê” carries a smile from the past, while opening a new expression-where traditional art is preserved, yet can continue to thrive vividly in contemporary life!
