Special exhibition about the late painter Trinh Huu Ngoc

Taking place from September 4 to October 30, the art exhibition Special Heritage of Indochina Fine Arts - Painter Trinh Huu Ngoc - Where Painting Meets Zen and Interior Design starting from an attitude towards life is the first time since 1988 that a solo exhibition is dedicated entirely to honoring this name.

Organized by the Heritage Club, V-Art Space, Omega Plus, and the family of the late artist Trinh Huu Ngoc, the exhibition showcases over 40 works and artifacts spanning from fine art to architectural and interior design by the artist. Here, viewers have the opportunity to admire the simple, elegant beauty of the Northern Vietnamese countryside, recreated in many paintings created between 1939 and 1992, with various themes such as landscapes and still lifes. Through these works, gentle colors and calm yet spontaneous brushstrokes are revealed.

The exhibition is taking place at V-Art Space ( Hanoi ).

Besides paintings, the exhibition also showcases designs that have become part of everyday life through many artifacts bearing the once-famous MÉMO brand. These were crafted between 1940 and 1968, embodying an art philosophy focused on humanity, where beauty harmonizes with functionality. Particularly noteworthy is the set of tables and chairs designed by Trịnh Hữu Ngọc and his associates, where President Ho Chi Minh drafted the Declaration of Independence , currently housed at the Vietnam Revolutionary Museum. Along with the painting " The Beginning of Hàng Đào Street on the Day of the Takeover of the Capital ," both demonstrate the harmonious connection between a multi-talented artist and the destiny of the nation.

In addition, the exhibition also displays personal mementos of artist Trinh Huu Ngoc, helping viewers understand more about the artist's life. The exhibition also shows continuity and dialogue across time, where the spirit of Zen painting is passed from him to his son - artist and translator Trinh Lu. It is expected that at around 10 am on October 26th, artist Trinh Lu will have a conversation here, recounting vivid memories about the life, career, and legacy of Trinh Huu Ngoc.
