Exhibition sends a message of unity
An art exhibition named “Sisters” by Vu Bach Hoa and Vu Bach Lien will be held in Exhibition House 17 Ngo Quyen Street, Hanoi till December 17.
Sisters Vu Bach Hoa and Vu Bach Lien will bring to the exhibition two different styles of two different generations. The elder sister – Vu Bach Hoa (born in 1959) lived through the war time. Her art depicts tranquility, a simple love of peaceful times and the beauty of daily life.
The younger sister – Vu Bach Lien (born in 1976) expresses her ideas through digital art using paper, sculpture, lithography on stone, aluminum and digital photos. Most of her art works are about the relationship between women and children.
*An art exhibition called Dong Bao by Pham Huy Thong is at the Bui Gallery, 23 Ngo Van So Street, Hanoi till January 2.
On display are 12 paintings made of oil on canvas, retracing the nation’s history. The artist uses iconic images of Vietnam from the wars and historical turning points, and places them in a new context.
Dong Bao refers to the creation myth of the Vietnamese people which literally means “from the same womb of Mother Au Co.”
The artist’s message is one of unity which reminds Vietnamese that they are blood brothers and sisters and that they should always love, care for and respect each other.
