From the organizer:
You are invited to the showcase “Color – Wool 2” by Nguyen Hong Van.
According to artist Nguyen Hong Van:
“I was born and raised in a little alley in Ha Noi – a place that has left an indelible imprint of joy and sorrow on my memory. When I grew up, Ha Noi was also the place that evoked my first emotion when I moved into the realms of wool embroidery art.
A skewed roof, a pale-sun afternoon at West Lake, a street with a fairly cool wind of autumn, etc., all gather in enchanting shades of colors of Ha Noi – my beloved city.
I have been tirelessly working and exploring to convey cultural and art values in every wool embroidery picture. It is the art of sophistication and meticulousness of the colors and drunk with emotions. Many people thought I was too risky to embark on such a new and unique field as the art of wool embroidery. However, perhaps it is the nature of a learner of Fine Arts and the strong passion of a young person for exploration that have inspired me to this art form.
Over the past four years, there are 50 works of art unveiled at an exhibition and a display. Wool embroidery picture is taking steps to become a widely known and cherished art form. It was a weary yet worthy journey, especially when many wool embroidery pictures were displayed at numerous galleries or became decorative art gift preferred at home and abroad. Besides the topic of Ha Noi, my works also focus on topics of the country – people – culture of Viet Nam as a vivid recreation through the eye of wool embroidery.
A long road is still ahead. I hope that all of my works of art will gain greater love and bring more emotional values to those who appreciate art and talent!”
