Opening January 2
VICAS Art Studio

In order for Vietnamese art lovers to have more access to abstract art, and for Vietnamese artists to have opportunities to exchange and understand more about these arts, VICAS Art Studio takes the initiative to organize an exhibition on the occasion of our traditional New Year of the Rat (2020) with the title “Abstraction & Minimalism”.
There were 103 Vietnamese artists from all over the country and also from abroad supporting this initiative with 200 works submitted within just 5 months. 58 paintings and 3 sculptures of 46 artists have been curated for display.
“Hương’s Silk” Painting Exhibition
 |
Vietnam Fine Arts Museum
66 Nguyen Thai Hoc St., Ba Dinh Dist., Hanoi
The exhibition includes 27 silk paintings whose backs have been all strengthened on Do paper. In particular, one among those paintings can be seen as an experiment that the painter tried to attach it with a turning axle to make a moving scenery.
Silk painting is a special material of the East, its origin associated with the Orient. When it comes to silk painting, people often think of its pure, dreamy and mystery
As for Nguyen Thu Huong, a female artist, perhaps the dream is valuable to her. Over the past ten years, she has never changed her drawing style. Huong’s painting probably takes “femininity” as the main theme and it all revolves around it, whispering about it. And so, Huong has kept her style since entering the fine arts school up to now.
