Unusual paintings by artist Le Thu

During his lifetime, translator and art critic Duong Tuong once remarked that Le Thu's paintings exhibited "a contrast between the boundless immensity of the earth and sky and the smallness and finitude of humanity, or of human existence."

Artist Le Thu will hold a solo exhibition titled "Nghe Du" ( Artistic Wandering) from January 16th to 21st at the Vietnam Fine Arts Museum. The exhibition will showcase 30 oil paintings, reflecting the artist's passion and dedication, including: Autumn Afternoon, Crescent Moon, Changing Seasons, Cold Mist, Dawn, and Streak of Light … Throughout the "Nghe Du" exhibition, the prevailing theme is vast, free, and expansive space, revealed through each artwork. "Empty spaces always fascinate me intensely. I wander within them and feel free," shared artist Le Thu.

During his lifetime, translator and art critic Duong Tuong once remarked that Le Thu's paintings exhibited "a contrast between the boundless immensity of the earth and sky and the small, finite nature of humanity, or of human existence." Art critic Bui Nhu Huong affirmed that Le Thu's paintings were becoming more numerous and beautiful: "Thu doesn't like the noise of many colors. She paints each picture according to a mood, using free-flowing brushstrokes, with many spontaneous impulses from within, creating a flowing, swirling mass of color. Her spaces are vast and tranquil, at times stirring and overflowing with emotion." Some of her works will be on display at the exhibition:

Artist Le Thu was born in 1959 in Hanoi . After graduating from the Vietnam Fine Arts University, she successfully organized 11 solo exhibitions both domestically and internationally, including: Yearing (1999, Hanoi), Art & Soul (2003, Singapore), Sampa (2004, Denmark), Vietnamese Soul (2009, Italy), and group exhibitions.
