HCMC art lovers are in for a treat with two new exhibitions, one of which displays works by 44 women painters to greet International Women’s Day on March 8.
The female artists are presenting 68 paintings presented in silk and oil as well as statues and earthenware at the exhibition, which has opened at the city’s Fine Arts Association.
The works share common themes and subject matters, including an obvious interest in flowers, still life, peaceful landscapes, the turbulence and the beauty of life and, most notably, a strong female world view.
“The paintings are strongly personal and feminine. Each artist has her unique form of expression and uses different materials in which she specialises,†painter Pham Do Dong, Vice President of HCMC’s Fine Arts Association, said.
In addition to works displayed at the exhibition, many painters are creating new paintings and statues to prepare for next month’s exhibition to greet Liberation Day on April 30,†painter Nguyen Thi Tam, Manager of the city’s Women Artists’ Club, said.
The exhibition, which is at the Fine Arts Association, 218A Pasteur Street, District 3, will last until March 15.
To Hoai Nam and Vo Nam, two teachers of HCMC’s Fine Arts College, are displaying their works in a joint exhibition, which opened last weekend at the college.
Hoai Nam’s works feature romantic landscapes of Gyeongnam in the Republic of Korea where he took part in an art creation camp for Asian painters last year.
The exhibition at the Fine Arts College, 5 Phan Dang Luu Street in Binh Thanh District will last until March 15.
According to sources from the Fine Arts Association, several exhibitions will be held in the city this month, including a solo exhibition of painter Nguyen Hung Trinh from the central province of Khanh Hoa from March 23 to April.
