The Vietnam Book of Records (Viet Kings) recognised it as “the exhibition of traditional lacquer art with the biggest number of authors”.
It’s our honour to curate and introduce the artworks created by remarkable Vietnamese artists, said Nguyen Xuan Cuong, President of Chon’s Auction House.
The exhibition aims to educate people on traditional lacquer art. It shows the importance of lacquer in traditional art and honours the creativity and sophisticated skills of the artists.
Lacquer is an important heritage of Vietnamese culture and art. The exhibition introduces the paintings on various subjects such as festivals, flowers, women, landscapes, abstract and portraits, Cuong said.
The exhibition lasts until March 28.
