Exhibition 'Lien Canh': A journey of storytelling with lotus

The exhibition, organized by VietnamColor, displays more than 50 paintings and designs by three artists: Huong Color, Nguyen Hoang Ngan and Trinh Bich Thuy.

“Lien Canh” reflects Vietnamese emotions, spaces and identities through three creative perspectives, exploring the connection between people, nature and culture in a changing world .

Titled "Lien Canh", the exhibition also opens up a world of "scenes" - realms, emotional scenes and mental scenes. At the center of the creative flow is the image of lotus flowers, symbolizing rebirth with personal creative identity.

From silk, ramie, linen to do paper, the three artists brought their own interpretations, some starting from tradition, some placing the lotus in a contemporary context, some seeing the lotus as a symbol of the human spirit.

According to Ms. Huong Color, visitors come to the exhibition today not only to watch, but to bring back to each person a new emotion, a question or a new thought, because at that moment, art begins to truly live.

“ The exhibition space at the Vietnam Women's Museum is created with sophistication in light and layout, helping each work "shine" in its own space but still blend into the overall artistic dialogue," Ms. Huong Color (founder of VIETNAMCOLOR, Head of the Organizing Committee) shared more.

As part of the exhibition, VietnamColor organized a charity auction with the work “Lien Nuong 16” by artist Nguyen Hoang Ngan. Within minutes of its debut, the work was priced at 30 million VND at the exhibition. All proceeds will be donated to the Hope Fund, spreading the spirit of “art for the community”.
