On poonah paper, 75 artworks showcase different techniques of the artists – some use watercolours, Chinese ink and oil, while some paint on different layers of poonah paper and some strengthen the artwork by combining the paper with canvas.
Bình still follows a realist aesthetic with paintings depicting ordinary life. Mười uses abstract paintings to depict the philosophy of life. Hùng and Tiến present charming paintings of nude models. Other artists express concerns about life, beauty and the urban environment.
The initiative behind the exhibition of dó paintings came from painter Bình. The first was organised last year. While other artists use other materials, Bình focused on dó paper.
“The paper is soft and spongy, so it allows the wet ink to absorb and spread on the surface,” he said.
“For me, only dó paper can help me express romanticism, impressions and emotions. The paper is both traditional and contemporary.”
The exhibition will run until September 8 at the Exhibition House, 29 Hàng Bài Street, Hà Nội. — VNS
