An exhibition featuring 300 paintings produced by artists from Vietnam and the Republic of Korea (RoK) opened on December 27 at the Hanoi Museum, marking 30 years since the establishment of diplomatic ties between the two countries.
Dr. Nguyen Tien Luan, vice chairman of Vietnam-RoK friendship association, said the exhibition is showcasing artworks by 19 Vietnamese and eight Korean painters, with the ultimate aim of inspiring young people of the two nations.
It helps to promote Vietnamese culture to Korean friends while simultaneously providing opportunities for local people to learn more about traditional Korean culture through paintings, he noted.
The pieces on display include those created by outstanding artists such as Vu Trong Thuan, Hoang Dang Nhuan, Truong Be, and Vu Duong from Vietnam, as well as Han Heewon, Chae Jongkee, Lee Johnlip, and Kim Sungnam of the RoK.
The exhibition has been co-organised by Nguyen Trai University, the Vietnam Fine Arts Association, and Hanoi Museum and is scheduled to last through to March 31, 2023.
