From L’Espace:
Giấy Dó (rice paper) is an old paper made of barks, and was formerly used for books, diplomas, certificates as well as some decorative paintings.
Ly Truc Son (former teacher at the Fine Arts School Hanoi and specialist in rice paper and lacks) is one of the first artists to use this paper for painting.
The series of paintings made on the character Vân Dại (Vân the mad) enables Ly Truc Son to describe the female character of Chèo (Xúy Vân) in different drawing forms inspired by the sung theatre. With rice paper and guided by his love for this music, Ly Truc Son tries to define a Vietnamese identity.
Free entrance.
