Tu Mua Thu Ay (From the Autumn) displays 63 oil and lacquer works and its underlying theme is “women is the world”.
All paintings were selected from the artists’ latest collections of landscapes, daily life and ethnic minority women and children in different places and remote areas across the country.
“Female artists of Tranh Viet Club highlight the beauty of Vietnamese women in their art. Their showcase, Tu Mua Thu Ay, will capture the hearts of viewers, particularly males,” said Pham Huy Hoang, a final-year student at the HCM City University of Architecture, at the event’s opening ceremony last night.
Hoang’s favourite work is Gai Que (Rural Woman), an oil painting in pink and black by artist Kim Dung.
“Gai Que is lively. The artist portrays a woman in traditional clothes sitting with baskets of fresh lotuses. I can smell the beautiful flowers,” he said.
Established in 2005, the Tranh Viet Club organises painting exhibitions and artistic activities to help its members share their art.
The exhibition is on display at the HCM City Labour Palace, 55B Nguyen Thi Minh Khai Street, District 3. It will close on October 23. Entrance is free.
