"Spring of Independence" exhibition features 17 lacquer paintings

ĐTO/NDO- A large-scale lacquer painting exhibition entitled “Spring of Independence” opened at the Ho Chi Minh Museum in Ha Noi on August 18.

The event, held jointly by the Party Central Committee’s Communications and Mass Mobilisation Commission and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism is part of a series of activities to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution (August 19) and National Day (September 2).

Nguyen Trong Nghia, Politburo member, Secretary of the Party Central Committee (PCC), Head of the PCC’s Communications and Mass Mobilisation Commission, cut the ribbon to the exhibition.

The exhibition introduced 17 large-scale lacquer paintings, including works up to 20m2 by painter Chu Nhat Quang, a young artist who has quickly affirmed his personal mark, harmoniously combining the quintessence of national art with the breath of the times.

The exhibition is a testament to the creativity and social responsibility of the young generation of Vietnamese artists. From traditional materials, they have known how to exploit and innovate to suit the contemporary art language, contributing to bringing Vietnamese lacquer to the world.

The exhibition is considered a special cultural and artistic destination on the occasion of the nation’s great anniversary, where the public can listen to history resounding through lacquer paintings, and see there the belief and aspiration of an everlasting independent spring.
