VDT- Golden bonsai– Oil & Acrylic
A number of her outstanding artworks on this exhibition must be mentioned are “Golden bonsai”- Oil & Acrylic, 50×60 cm- By means of the strong and liberal strokes together with yellow as the theme colour, she describes shaking classifier for flowers, so viewers could perceive moisture and sweet perfume on each petal. The light grey-blue colour manifests Spring drizzle.
VDT- Yen Phu Town- Lacquer on wood -2011
Especially, the set of “Hanoi Town” paintings records memories about ancient towns, such as: Tran Vu Temple, Yen Phu Town,…All of them plunges in the grey-blue colour with wonderful gold-inlaid or silver-inlaid sky. The old motley walls are expressed by pieces of in-laid eggs in hot and cold tones, which makes viewers feel the real uneven of these buildings. The viewers seem to return to ancient times with dreamy flavour, light and melody.
The exhibition will open on 24 February, 2012 and last to 3 March, 2012 at 235 Dong Khoi, Dist.1, HCMC.
