HCM CITY — A vibrant exhibition titled “Memory Land” is currently captivating audiences at the HCM City Fine Arts Association, in celebration of International Women’s Day. Featuring 135 art pieces by women artists, the showcase spans a variety of genres including reality, semi-abstract, abstract, and still-life across multiple mediums such as oil, acrylic, watercolor, lacquer, and pottery. This artistic endeavor is led by the association’s Women Artists’ Fine Arts Club and displays the diverse talents of its 100 member artists.
Empowering Women Through Art
The “Miền Nhớ” exhibition serves not just as a platform for female artists to present their latest creations but also as a beacon of inspiration for women to explore and realize their artistic potential. According to Nguyễn Anh Đào, the head of the Women Artists’ Fine Arts Club, this annual event is pivotal in recognizing and celebrating the significant contributions of women to society through art. Highlighting the exhibition, Đào’s own piece, a lacquer painting titled “Miền An Nhiên” (Peaceful Land), depicts a serene image of a woman with a lotus flower at night, embodying tranquility and peace.
Spotlight on Emerging Talent
Among the seasoned artists, the exhibition also provides a stage for emerging talent such as Tiểu Tân, a newcomer who brings a poignant silk painting named “Tình Yêu Ở Lại” (Forever Love) to the showcase. This artwork narrates the touching story of a veteran couple who reunite in Hà Nội after being separated by war in 1968, each having lost a leg but not their love for each other. This particular piece has resonated with many, including Nguyễn Ngọc Vân, a student of the College of Culture and Arts, who finds in it a powerful message of enduring love and happiness against all odds.
A Diverse Collection of Themes and Mediums
The exhibition is a testament to the rich diversity and creativity of women artists, featuring works that explore a wide array of subjects from landscapes and lifestyles to portraits and flowers. Artists such as Đỗ Quyên, Hoàng Thuỳ Dương, and Dương Thị Thuý Hiền contribute to this vibrant collection, each bringing their unique perspective and artistic flair. The exhibition, located at 218A Pasteur Street in District 3, remains open to the public until March 8, offering a rare glimpse into the world of women’s art in Vietnam.
As the exhibition draws to a close, it leaves behind a powerful message about the strength, resilience, and creativity of women. “Miền Nhớ” not only celebrates the artistic achievements of women but also highlights the important role art plays in societal reflection and change. This gathering of talent and expression serves as a reminder of the endless possibilities that lie ahead for women in art and beyond.
