From Sofitel Plaza Hanoi:
On 26th March 2015, Sofitel Plaza Hanoi is delighted to present the exhibition entitled “The 8th Day” featuring paintings by a group of female artists from Hanoi. The exhibition will be open until 25th April 2015.
Date and time mark important milestones in everyone’s life. Every week has only seven days, but to our artists, there is the 8th day beyond common knowledge and perception. It is where and when they bask into their own imaginary worlds, fuel their dreams and get inspired for their creativity.
The exhibition will showcase paintings by talented artists Duong Thuy Duong, Dang Tu Thu and Nguyen Thi Minh Tam. Harmoniously blending Vietnamese touch and French elegance in its contemporary design and most refined ambiance inspired by the Indochine past charm, Sofitel Plaza Hanoi will be the perfect settings for this inspiring event.
Duong Thuy Duong believes that there is neither gods nor spirit, but she intends to draw them. Therefore, they appear in Duong’s paintings mostly as symbols. Applying unusual and contemporary technique in her paintings, she surpasses doubts about faith and religion to look down to the world.
Unlike Duong, Dang Tu Thu equivocally believes in God, but sometimes she doubts herself. In her eye, God can watch the living souls that he created but takes no action to show his existence. Thu’s oil paintings are the combination of figurative art and the new surrealism.
Only the third artist, Nguyen Thi Minh Tam, seems to be sunk in her own spiritual world. There are angels, devils and souls that grow on the law of the universe. Her paintings are filled with strong and bright colors but simplified in figure, requiring the audience not only to see, but to really feel the artworks.
“The 8th Day” Painting Exhibition promises the audience an exciting experience in the creativity and inspiration of art.
