The exhibition features 18 oil canvas paintings, depicting Ha Long Bay and the rural areas of the Northern Delta.
The natural scenery of the northern delta region is depicted with hot and cold tones under Tuan’s strokes. Different pictures, bearing different tones, bring about different feelings to each viewer.
Le Van Thin, Lecturer of the Vietnam Fine Arts College, said “Being a young artist, Tuan’s eyes for observation and his combination of colors lead viewers from one surprise to another. His paintings simplify things to the maximum, but also carry extreme colours that depict the gorgeous natural sceneries of the friendly and beautiful rural areas of the northern delta.”
According to Tuan, his colorful and sentimental paintings carry different feelings, similar to the four seasons of Korea: lively spring, hot summer, glittering autumn and cold winter.
Park Nark Jong, Director of the Korean Cultural Center said that he hoped all seasons reflected on the canvas, would help shed new light on the county, and help viewers understand more about Vietnam.
Born in 1974, Nguyen Ba Tuan graduated from the Hanoi Theatrical and Cinematography College, and has had various personal and group exhibitions. The exhibition will last until November 14, 2014 at 49 Nguyen Du, Hanoi.
