From the organizer:

Destination I expresses the artists’ wishes for more ways of sharing and exchanging their art works abroad. By friends of friends, the exhibition organizer can have an opportunity to welcome painter Yusof Ghani, the world painter of Malaysia, taking along two new paintings in his visit to Hanoi. It is the first time that one of the most well- known Malaysian painter introduces his new art works in Vietnam. There are two Malaysian painters beside 5 Vietnamese among them is an artist who has been living in France for long time.

Beside experienced painters, Nguyen Than (from Ho Chi Minh City), Vu Hoa (or Hoa Vu, living and working in France), Ngo Hai Yen (from Hanoi), there are two young and promising ones: Ngo Van Sac (born in 1980) and Luu Tuyen (born in 1982). They both live and work in Hanoi. They themselves concern about many social problems in Vietnam today such as violent games, games addiction of the youth, larger and larger distance of souls and feelings among people… Their art works can be obviously interesting comparisons to paintings on Malaysian fishermen by Zaim bin Durusalam or to others’which focus on various aspects in the human inner life. It is hoped that the exhibition can not only be well received by local art audience but give an interesting suggestion for many other artistic points of arrival in the future.
