HÀ NỘI - Talented young artists from all corners of Việt Nam are showcasing their diverse works, from painting and sculpture to installation and video art, at The Gardeners exhibition.

Organised jointly by the Vincom Centre for Contemporary Art (VCCA) and the Young Artists Club of the Vietnam Fine Arts Association, the exhibition features nearly 100 works by 90 artists.

Inspired by the poems in The Gardeners, written by the Nobel Prize-winning poet Rabindranath Tagore, the exhibition's theme draws parallels between the creative journey of artists and the work process of gardeners, both of which demand patience, calmness, and a harmonious attitude towards nature.

For some artists, creating art leads them to discover new, unexpected values, even if they didn't originally set out to find them.

Tagore's philosophical and poetic lyrics have proven particularly influential in inspiring the latest works of these young artists.

With an open theme and unlimited material, the artists exploit many dimensions of space and time.

The Gardeners exhibition wishes to open a playground where each artist will contribute to express themselves, face the idyllic everyday realities and work creatively to find new values from the simplest things.

“This is an exhibition where we can see more clearly the creative tendencies of young artists and they are confident and ready to accept new challenges of art, which can be an extremely realistic way of drawing," said painter Lương Xuân Đoàn, Chairman of the Vietnam Fine Arts Association. "It can be abstract, it can be surreal, or it can be a technology-assisted conceptual art story to go far on the creative path, and we can count on, hopefully, a new page of Vietnamese fine arts.”

Along with the exhibition, the Young Artists Club and VCCA will organise many art events with the participation of young artists featured.

The Gardeners is open for free until May 2 at Vincom Centre for Contemporary Art (VCCA), B1-R3 Vincom Mega Mall Royal City, 72 Nguyễn Trãi, Thanh Xuân District, Hà Nội. VNS
