From the organiser:
In the 20th century, Thomas Merton, through his words, cultivated and evoked an inner world rich in contemplation amidst the suddenness of nature. He was not the first to mention the solitary and meditative feeling of the scenery, but he precisely described what we received from ancient artifacts from the East. Those vases, bowls, and plates, adorned with aesthetic decorations, depict phoenixes soaring under a golden sky, where pine trees spread wide from a cliff, reaching major collections in the West. These artifacts bear the names of their homeland: Arita, and Imari – great centers of ceramic production and export in the land of the rising sun. Along with bronzeware, they have diligently transported the diverse system of humanistic philosophies and aesthetic sensibilities of the Japanese people to global enthusiasts for centuries.
Interwoven tightly with traditional and modern values, what painting expresses is no exception. Transcending the dimensions of the canvas, the “Flood Season” series is a grand narrative about the Mekong River, depicting the captivating beauty of Dong Thap Muoi while serving as a poignant narrative by painter Ca Le Thang. From another perspective, the arrangement of subjects under the faint light by painter Le Vuong adds a subtle melody of humanity inside the form of still life. Additionally, the persistent efforts of painters Doan Xuan Tang, Nguyen Hong Duc, Nguyen Tho Hieu, and Doan Van Toi delve into the depths of consciousness to engage sincerely with viewers. Meanwhile, in the field of sculpture, the famous artist Vu Binh Minh presents dynamic works that skillfully condense many revolving states of nature.
The “Mindscape” exhibition will occur with a series of satellite events organized at Indochine House in Hanoi and Saigon.

Hanoi-Mai Duy Minh – The Collection
Until August 18, 10 am – 06:30 pm,
Hanoi Studio Gallery
No. 23-25 Mac Dinh Chi Street, Ba Dinh District
From the organizer:
Hai Phong in the 2000s had mostly stayed the same compared to Hanoi at the time. I thought that if film crews needed a setting for the old, poor Hanoi of the subsidy era, with its quiet, deserted, moss-covered streets, makeshift markets at the alley entrances, and old industrial areas related to ferries and ports, they could find all the necessary material in Hai Phong.
Hanoi Studio Gallery proudly presents “Mai Duy Minh – The Collection”. The artworks introduced in this event come from the author’s collection and collectors, along with some sketches and drawings introduced to art lovers, for the first time.
