AN GIANG — Around 33 artists from HCM City and the Cửu Long (Mekong) Delta province of An Giang are showcasing their paintings and sculptures at the Museum of An Giang in Long Xuyên City.

The exhibition is organised by the city Fine Arts Association and the province’s Literature and Art Association to mark the 135th birthday anniversary of President Tôn Đức Thắng, whose home village is in An Giang.

The showcase includes 47 paintings and sculptures, featuring a wide range of topics such as the beauty of the country, lifestyle, climate change and environmental protection.

All the works are made of different materials including oil, lacquer, wood, stone, iron, copper, and mixed media. They feature surrealist, abstract, semi-abstract, and impressionistic styles.

Bùi Quang Vinh, chairman of An Giang’s Literature and Art Association, said, “Both associations spent three months preparing and choosing high-quality paintings and sculptures for the showcase. The works reflect the artists’ feelings and points of view on life.”

In the framework of the exhibition, the HCM City Fine Arts Association gifted a portrait sculpture of President Tôn Đức Thắng, created by its chairman Nguyễn Xuân Tiên, to the Museum of An Giang Province.

The exhibition is open daily until July 31. — VNS
