Art space in the forest: Harmony between human and nature

On November 29, the 10th anniversary of Art In The Forest and the 5th anniversary of the establishment of Flamingo Contemporary Art Museum took place in Phu Tho.

Initiated in 2015, Art In The Forest has contributed to positioning Flamingo Dai Lai as a leading cultural and artistic destination. Over the past 10 years, more than 50 large sculptures and 70 paintings and installations have appeared among pine forests, grassy hills, lakes...

Flamingo Contemporary Art Museum, founded in 2020, turns nature into an "eternal canvas", opening up a large space for art appreciation.

Painter Luong Xuan Doan, Chairman of the Vietnam Fine Arts Association, shared at the ceremony.

According to artist Luong Xuan Doan, Chairman of the Vietnam Fine Arts Association, the project and art museum in the forest is “a new step forward for contemporary Vietnamese art”.

The works are arranged to blend with nature.

The sculptures in the project not only create aesthetic impressions but also tell cultural stories, conveying messages about the harmony between humans and the environment. Diverse materials such as stone, wood, and metal are processed in many styles, opening up dialogues between artists and the mountain and forest space.

Emotionally sharing at the celebration, artist Katsumi Mukai (Japan) said that the greatest value of the art space in the forest lies in its ability to connect people with art in its most natural state. The open space allows each work to “breathe” with the landscape, making viewers feel the aesthetic, cultural and spiritual values ​​that the artist conveys.

Artist Vu Hong Nguyen, co-founder and curator of the Flamingo Contemporary Art Museum, said the museum will offer free admission for 6 months to students of all levels: “For an art to develop, it must rely on a community of art lovers. In the next 2-3 years, we will focus on bringing art closer to the public, especially young people.”

On this special occasion, representative artists of Vietnamese contemporary art, including Dao Chau Hai, Le Thi Hien, Do Hiep, Nguyen Tran Uu Dam, Hoang Tuong Minh, Hoang Mai Thiep, Pham Dinh Tien and Le Anh Vu, introduced new works here.

At the ceremony, the organizing committee received more than 660 million VND to support people affected by floods.
