Hanoi will host a lacquer painting exhibition from January 3–20, focused on works inspired by spring—widely considered the most beautiful season in the capital city.
The exhibition will showcase nearly 30 artworks created by famous local painters Nguyen Trong Tai and Dang Van Quynh.
Graduates from Hanoi Fine Arts University and Hanoi Industrial Arts College, the duo’s work has been displayed at many prestigious exhibitions in Vietnam, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, France, Australia, the US, and the UK.
Dang Van Quynh uses lacquer to capture his intensely personal perspective on Hanoi’s Old Quarter streets and their often chaotic mix of the past and present.
Nguyen Trong Tai devotes his artistic vision to women. “My current experiments are ballet and ballerinas,” Tai said. ”I’ve discovered that behind such ostensibly prescribed looks, moves, or postures lies a whole world of nuanced emotion, sometimes lively and innocent, sometimes pensive and intense.”
