For centuries the art
of Vietnam was expressive of the past, not of the present. That changed for
this fascinating country with the establishment by French artists and teachers
of the Ecole des beaux-arts of Ha Noi in the early 20th century. Suddenly,
contemporary art was born and Vietnam's artists embraced the freedom like
no other culture in the world.
A celebration of the resulting explosion of Vietnamese contemporary fine art
is captured now at Gallery Hoa Mai, the only Paris gallery fully dedicated
to Vietnamese art. The scope and scale of the artworks will serve as an introduction
and for some a revelation of modern Vietnamese art and the people who make
it.
The gallery will display:
- Sculptures
- Oil
paintings
- Lacquer
paintings
- Silk paintings
- Wood blocks prints
- Ink on rice paper
- Photography
- Vietnamese Art Books
