The exhibition is divided into 2 sections. The first section contains acrylic and watercolor paintings, carved paintings, and sculptural works. The second contains lacquerware paintings and other genres.
“The exhibition reflects youth’s perspective on the future. Its title 'What are we fiddling with?' expresses their curiosity about a world filled with unknown things,” said Le Thanh Tung, a member of the Standing Committee of the Young Artists’ Club.
Nuances of emotion and expression pervade 'Potted Plants' by Trieu Phuong, “In Hang Trong Garden” by Hoai Giang and Nguyen Trang, and “March Flowers” by Nguyen Tuan Hoang.
“Silence” by Nguyen Thanh Hao and “Decay” by Vu Tuan Viet particularly typify the thoughts and sentiments of today’s young people. Painter Nguyen Thanh Hao said, “The work reflects a connection between the inner part of myself and the outside world. I focus the light and space at a specific point of time, conveying the message that you need to stay calm in any situation to solve a problem.”
The diverse art works encapsulate young people’s thoughts, life experience, and perspective on the future.
“The art works reveal the efforts of young artists to develop. We expect a great renewal of Vietnam’s contemporary art in the time to come,” said Luong Xuan Doan, Chairman of the Vietnam Fine Arts Association.
