EXHIBITION
Hanoi-Exhibition “Perfect Reality” by Luu Tuyen
Vietnam Fine Arts Museum, 66 Nguyen Thai Hoc Street
Featuring 30 artworks using mixed media on canvas and two sculptures, spanning five years of working and mastering the use of epoxy resin in art.
Epoxy is an organic compound with a plastic composite base and a special composition that makes the material far more water- and heat-resistant than many other media. Due to the low shrinkage and excellent adhesion, epoxy resin, when mixed with various active ingredients, can form adhesives with many superior properties and at the same time create durable, yet beautiful, surfaces. Epoxy is widely used in construction and shipbuilding, where it is used to coat underwater surfaces.To master this material in art is a major challenge for any artist. After a chance encounter with the use of epoxy resin as a glaze on the surface of oil paintings, both as a clear protective layer and a top coat that creates a different visual effect to the finished artwork, Luu Tuyen learned to apply epoxy not only to the surfaces of paintings but also to create forms in sculptures.
