The work 'Spring' of artist Mai San.

HÀ NỘI — The Việt Nam Fine Arts Association has held an exhibition to celebrate the Lunar New Year 2023 and the 93rd anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of Việt Nam (February 3, 1930 – 2023).

The exhibition introduces 152 works by 152 painters who are members of the association, mainly themed of spring and cats for the Year of the Cat.

Each painter has his/her own visual language, diversified in style, expressed on many different materials such as oil paints, lacquers, ceramics, acrylics and watercolours.

The works contain joy and hope for a peaceful spring and a new year with many successes in art creation and life.

Some typical works in the exhibition include Spring by Trần Tuyết Mai, Mother Spring by Nguyễn Hữu Thuận, Spring Colours by Nguyễn Hữu Chiến, and I Love Cats by Đinh Thị Nguyệt.

Painter Lương Xuân Đoàn, chairman of the Việt Nam Fine Arts Association, said that for a long time, the spring painting exhibition has become a beautiful tradition and custom of the association.

After a year of hard work, the exhibition is like a good wish in the new year. For artists, the best blessing is to "show off" each other their latest works to welcome the spring with the expectation and wish that their creative path in the coming year will be favourable and successful.

"The artworks displayed in the exhibition have fresh beauty, hidden joy for a spring. Each work is a card from the artists sent to the public with wishes for a new year with new successes for the country and people," Đoàn said.

The exhibition runs until January 19 at the exhibition hall at 16 Ngô Quyền Street, Hoàn Kiếm District, Hà Nội.. VNS
