‘Eva-Eternal Spring’ by artist Rung on Sunday opened at Tu Do Gallery, depicting the beauty of nude women harmonized with the joy of nature.
Eva (Eve) in Rung’s paintings lives in the Garden of Eden with the innocent life of flowers, birds, fish and stars. Eve is pregnant, gives birth but is still beautiful and full of vitality to raise Adam’s kids in the beauty of nature. Ten works of arts are made from synthetic materials, feasting viewers on an art party by joyfulness, freshness and brilliance which shine through in the paintings. Nude images of mother earth are scorching hot, supple body line soaring with star trucks, brimful of vitality with colorful flowers, fruits, green fields, and streams or dreaming with rainbow and clouds.
“Eve was the first woman to grace the earth and she is eternally young. She is the eternal spring and she is also young and graceful like spring,” said artist Rung.
Born in 1942, Rung - real name of Nguyen Tuan Khanh - since 1960 has given many solo and joined many group exhibitions in Vietnam, France and in the U.S.
The show runs till October 6 at the gallery, 53 Ho Tung Mau Street in District 1
