Introducing 44 lacquer art pieces at the exhibition celebrating the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam.

On December 12th, in Hanoi, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism assigned the Department of Fine Arts, Photography and Exhibitions to preside over and coordinate with relevant agencies and units to organize a lacquer art exhibition to celebrate the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam. Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Ta Quang Dong attended the event.

This is a cultural and artistic activity with profound significance, expressing the feelings, beliefs, responsibilities, and pride of the artists and writers towards the Party and the country.

Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Ta Quang Dong delivered the opening speech at the exhibition.

Speaking at the opening of the exhibition, Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Ta Quang Dong said: The Party and State of Vietnam have always consistently maintained the view of building an advanced Vietnamese culture, rich in national identity; considering culture as both the spiritual foundation and an important intrinsic driving force for development. In particular, the field of fine arts plays a special role in affirming identity, nurturing the soul, and spreading the soft power of the country. We have every right to be proud that Vietnamese visual arts are increasingly asserting their position on the regional and world art map, with many works of high artistic value, reflecting the modern Vietnamese soul while still deeply imbued with tradition.

Delegates cut the ribbon to inaugurate the exhibition.

Throughout that journey, lacquer art has been one of the most outstanding contributions. Using traditional materials, Vietnamese artists have created and developed a unique art form highly valued by the international art community. Vietnamese lacquer art not only achieves a high level of technical sophistication but also embodies cultural depth, patience, meticulousness, and a distinct Vietnamese aesthetic sensibility.

The technique of polishing each layer of lacquer to reveal the colors, lines, and shapes—a process that demands time, effort, and emotion—creates a mystical, elegant, and profound beauty on the surface of the artwork. Lacquer paintings have long been not only symbols of traditional art but also a richly expressive medium in contemporary art.

According to Deputy Minister Ta Quang Dong, the exhibition not only honors the traditional values ​​of lacquer art but also affirms the strong vitality, adaptability, and innovation of Vietnamese fine arts in the context of integration. It is also an opportunity for domestic and international audiences to better understand and appreciate this art form with its distinct Vietnamese identity; and at the same time, contribute to promoting the image of a country rich in culture, creativity, and humanism.

"Today's opening ceremony is the opening activity for a series of practical cultural and artistic events aimed at celebrating the Party Congress. We believe that the exhibition will receive the attention of a large audience, continue to inspire creativity and the desire to contribute among Vietnamese artists, and make a positive contribution to the development of Vietnamese culture in the new era," said Deputy Minister Ta Quang Dong.

The exhibition features 44 valuable paintings with themes praising the homeland and country, by generations of veteran artists who have made significant contributions and left their mark on the development of Vietnamese art, such as: "Artist Nguyen Van Binh - Hoa Binh Landscape, Artist Nguyen Nghia Duyen - Uncle Ho with Children, Artist Le Quoc Loc - Chi Lang Pass, Artist Lo An Quang - After Labor Hours, Artist Tran Dinh Tho - Road to Pac Bo Cave, Artist Nguyen Van Ty - Ha Long Boat, Artist Doan Van Nguyen - Peninsula".

Each artwork tells a unique story, a crystallization of intellect, soul, and love for art; simultaneously reflecting the beauty of the country, its people, and the spirit of the times. Through these works of art, we aim to honor the historical and cultural values ​​of the nation, promote the beauty of the country, and build an aesthetically rich artistic space that meets the needs of the public who appreciate fine art in particular and art in general.
