HÀ NỘI — A fashion show of áo dài (Vietnamese traditional dress) designed taking inspiration from artist Văn Dương Thành’s paintings will take place today in Hà Nội.

The event is the finale of her solo exhibition Mother and Nature, organised at the Vietnamese Women’s Museum, which has been running from March 8, to mark International Women’s Day.

The exhibition showcases 35 paintings selected from 1,700 artworks created by Thành, the oldest of which was produced in 1977. The paintings were created using materials such as lacquer, oil on canvas and sculpture. The exhibition marks 35 years of Thành working as a professional artist.

Thành will paint an artwork on the night and donate it to AmCham Vietnam. The painting Hà Nội In Summer (oil on canvas, 70cm by 90cm) will be auctioned on May 19 in Hà Nội to raise money for talented Vietnamese students. — VNS
