| ‘Potential Value of the Nature’, a lacquer by Bui Trong Du |
On display are 39 works in a variety of materials and media including oil, silk, and lacquer paintings, lithographs, and sculpture as well as performance art and installations. 42 artists are represented from six art clubs in Hanoi, Ninh Binh, Thai Binh, and Dak Lak provinces, plus Hue and Ho Chi Minh Cities.
Despite diverse styles and ideas, all the artists highlight the the inner energy and vitality of youth which fuels, nurtures and motivates their creativity.
Some pieces on show present urgent contemporary issues such as climate change in Tran Huu Nhat’s charcoal painting ‘Im Lang’ (The Quiet) and the oil on canvas, ‘Gio Cao Diem’ (Rush Hour), by Nguyen Huy Loc, and environmental pollution in ‘Tieng Goi’ (The Call) by Le Nguyen Manh.
The young artists also trace the traditional values as in ‘Cam Xuc Ve Co Vat Co Do’ (Feelings about Antiquities and the Ancient Capital) by Ku Kao Khai; ‘Phia Sau’ (From Behind) by Nguyen Thanh Son, and ‘Tinh Yeu’ (Love) by Le Thi Minh Tam.
Other painters are interested in the beauty of nature and daily life which are featured in the lacquer painting ‘Gia Tri Tiem An Cua Tu Nhien’ (The Potential Value of Nature), by Bui Trong Du; the monoprint ‘Bon Mua’ (Four Seasons), by Vu Bach Lien; and ‘Thu Hoach Ngo’ (Corn Harvest), a silk painting by Ha Thi Hong Ngan.
Though realism is the favoured style in the exhibition, a number of artists are pursuing abstraction which allows them to express their ideas more freely.
This is the first time artists from the north, central and south of Vietnam have had the chance to exhibit their artwork together despite the geographical distance between them.
The exhibition, co-organised by the Vietnam Fine Arts Association and the Vietnam – Danish Cultural Development and Exchange Fund, will run through April 8.Exhibition shows young artists’ energy
