HCMC Fine Arts Museum doubles up
|
|
About 40 pieces made in oil on canvas and lacquer by Hanoi-based artist Nguyen Nhu Quang in ‘Nhan Duyen’ (Fate) are on display at HCMC Fine Arts Museum.
The show presents the combination as a fate between ceramics and lacquer, between women and lotus flowers. “Women are always the inspiration, passion and attraction for any men and lotus flowers are a symbol of simplicity, beauty, faith and perfection. Therefore, how can I ignore them in my artworks,” said Quang.
With bight tones of colors and innocent style, Quang’s works bring to visitors a delightful emotion of optimism in life and love for natural beauty.
*Another exhibition by young artist Tran Ngoc Duc has also opened at the museum. The show includes 22 works made in acrylic on canvas, presenting insight contradiction in young people’s souls in the modern life.
Themed “Without viewing point: Church, Belief and small people,” Duc depicts scenery on Saigon streets around the Saigon Notre-Dame Cathedral. Images of the imposing church are not aimed to present the religion but the relationship of people who have beliefs. “It is really sad if we don’t have anything to believe in, although suspicions are everywhere,” said Duc. He added that he hopes young people who are facing a tough time with the economic slowdown, mortal crisis or unfair life will still have something to believe in to overcome difficulties in life and not be stuck in desperation.
The exhibitions run until Thursday at the museum, 97A Pho Duc Chinh Street in District 1.

Paintings, ceramics lacquer work on show at Fine Arts Museum
|
|
VietNamNet Bridge – The lotus flower and beauty of Vietnamese women are the main inspirations for ceramic works and paintings by artist Nguyen Nhu Quang now on display at the HCM City Fine Arts Museum.
Rural landscape: Visitors look at Que Huong II (Countryside II),
a painting on display at the HCM City Fine Arts Museum.
Nhan Duyen (Predestined affinity) displays 40 oil and lacquer paintings, and some ceramic-lacquer works that the Ha Noi-based artist has created over the last five years.
Quang's paintings mostly feature images of Vietnamese women and countryside landscapes, as can be seen in Thien Su (Angels), Que huong II (Countryside II) and Doi Sen, a collection of four vases depicting the development of lotus flower.
Quang, a graduate of pottery and lacquer at the Industrial Arts University, is a creator of the Gom Quang (Quang Ceramic) brand, which specialises in ceramic-lacquer products.
The museum is also hosting an exhibition of works by HCM City-based artist Tran Ngoc Duc.
Khong diem nhin: Ngoi den, Niem tin va Con nguoi be nho (No Direction: Temple, Faith and the Little Human Being) consists of 22 acrylic-on-canvas paintings.
Duc said he used images on Sai Gon streets like Han Thuyen Street and Notre Dame Cathedral to describe the relationship between faith and people, as well as the contradictions they carry inside.
Works on display include Tro chuyen voi niem tin (Talk with the Faith) and Khi niem tin bong bien mat (When Faith Was Lost).
Both exhibitions, which opened on September 6, will remain open until September 13 at 97A Pho Duc Chinh Street in District 1.

VietNamNet Bridge – For those after the most stunning view of Danang City by the beautiful Han River, then get your boots and climbing gear on as you will have to head to Linh Ung Bai But Pagoda on Son Tra peninsula.
You can feel the quiet surface of the East Sea from the pagoda.
Located on Son Tra peninsula, the pagoda looks onto the quiet East Sea, on the left of which is Cu Lao Cham Island and on the right is Hai Van Mountain. The pagoda is famous for its beautiful Kwan Yin statue 67 meters tall and views of Danang, one of the most dynamic and beautiful cities in central Vietnam. And on the flip side, people living in the city can see the huge Kwan Yin statue from almost everywhere.
The statue of Kwan Yin in Linh Ung Bai But Pagoda.
There is a legend concerning the stunning beach below about villagers, who lived and breathed fishing, one day finding a huge statue of Buddha drifting on the beach.
The pagoda area is always crowded with tourists and citizens,
especially during weekends.
They then perched the statue on high as a landmark to help support villagers through rough storms and keep them safe from sea creatures.
