Visiting the gallery, viewers can easily notice the bright colors and positive emotions that pervade it. Many famous landscapes of Vinh Phuc are recreated by the author, such as the misty Tam Dao, the magical Tay Thien, the majestic Lo Giang, the green Dai Lai... or simply the rustic, peaceful natural scenery found in many rural areas of Vietnam such as golden rice fields, tilted bamboo fences, quiet boats, and bright pink lotus ponds...

Painter Do Ngoc Dung, Chairman of the Phu Tho Literature and Arts Association, said that painter Quynh Thom has a rather liberal style, masters the material, knows how to exploit the strengths of the material to express and he is quite successful in many works, especially in paintings of mountain landscapes, clouds and water. Whether calm or agitated, Quynh Thom recreates quite successfully.

"Look closely at the clear shadows cast by the hills, bamboo hedges, or banana bushes on the water surface in the painting, or the free-flowing, unrestrained brushstrokes that evoke the rays of morning and sunset, and the smooth, blurred transitions of the colors...", artist Do Ngoc Dung emphasized.

In her first solo exhibition in Hanoi, artist Quynh Thom shared that the theme “Countryside Colors” has the meaning of regional cultural colors, which are also the colors of paintings. The author wants to bring emotions and nuances of the homeland to domestic and international art lovers.

Although proficient in many materials, artist Quynh Thom also emphasizes her love and interest in Chinese ink paintings, sketches and acrylics.

The exhibition “Countryside Colors and Sketches” is open to visitors until June 4.

Painter Quynh Thom was born in 1971 in Tuan Chinh commune, Vinh Tuong district, Vinh Phuc province. From 1988 to 1991, he was a graphic design student at Vinh Phu Provincial College of Culture and Arts, then continued to study at the Central University of Fine Arts Education (Hanoi).

However, for many reasons, for a long time the artist rarely created, mainly designing graphics for commercial activities. From 2021 until now, he has continuously picked up the brush to create many works and has had 6 art exhibitions in Vinh Phuc.
