The scent of silk

The exhibition displays 16 silk works and some sketches by the female artist. Like some contemporary silk painters, Nguyen Thu Huong's silk uses many graphic techniques, an effort to break away from the characteristics of realistic painting with three-dimensional space.

The silk material, which carries with it an obsession with vague fragility and a blurred drawing style, has been clearly transformed by Nguyen Thu Huong and other silk painters with bold outlines of shapes and monochrome color blocks. Nguyen Thu Huong's contouring technique is also different, with the outlines of the shapes creating a continuous movement in the composition, leading the viewer's eyes to follow an inspiring melody, sometimes quite surprising.

In Nguyen Thu Huong's silk paintings, the image of women appears with many differences, a figure with a blue or bright yellow color, a face that fades into the background, almost all the attractive features of the woman's body are shimmering and hidden in the decorative patterns.

Talking about the unique difference in Thu Huong's silk paintings, collector Tran Hau Tuan analyzed: "What makes Huong's silk different is not the graphics or decorative patterns but the ambiguity of the blocks, half hiding and half revealing the charm of the body. The curved lines seem to jostle, push, and dissolve into the fabric leaves, becoming fabric leaves, but there are also times when the human body suddenly emerges as a correction. Those illusions are sometimes deep and full of hidden meaning, sometimes light as a breeze, but always imply that there is another space behind it."
