The exhibition presents to the public nearly 70 works by the late artist Hoang Sung, created on materials such as lacquer, silk, and Do paper. The works depict the mystical shades of brown from the Red River's alluvial soil, misty highland markets, or images of hardworking women in the Northern Delta… All blend together, recreating a "soul of the countryside" that is both familiar and profoundly evocative of Vietnamese culture.

Scenes from the exhibition's opening ceremony.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, Mr. Hoang Anh Tuan, son of painter Hoang Sung, expressed: “I am deeply moved that my father's works are being introduced to the public through this exhibition. Our family hopes that this will not only be an opportunity to pay tribute, but also contribute to spreading more widely the artistic values ​​that he painstakingly created.”

Notably, on this occasion, a ceremony was also held to receive the artwork "Phung Market" by artist Hoang Sung, donated by the artist's family to the Vietnam Fine Arts Museum.

Speaking at the ceremony, Director of the Vietnam Fine Arts Museum Nguyen Anh Minh said that in the art world, there was a saying "Phai's street, Sung's market," to acknowledge the distinctive beauty in Bui Xuan Phai's street paintings and Hoang Sung's market paintings, two distinct styles but both rich in artistic value.

This is a meaningful action to preserve and promote the artistic value of artist Hoang Sung, bringing his works closer to the public.
