Talented young artists from all over the country, diverse in forms from painting, graphics, sculpture to installation and video art.
The Gardeners was originally borrowed from the poem book title “The Gardeners” by poet Rabindranath Tagore. The journey of discovery, creation and artistic work is sometimes very similar to the work process of gardeners that requiring patience, calmness and a peaceful attitude in harmony with the currents of the nature. Because sometimes, artists have not found what they want in art, but the process of artistic work leads them to creative and successful values that they are not looking for. Tagore’s poetic, erudite, philosophical lyrics have inspired young authors’ latest works.
Hanoi-Exhibition: Yin & Yang in contemporary sculpture
Until Apr 20
The Muse Artspace, 47 Trang Tien Street
From the organizer:
The exhibiton and art talk will be organized by The Muse Artspace
Art curator Tran Thu Huyen
With the appearance of six artists: Le Anh Vu, Nguyen Ngoc Lam, Nguyen Duy Manh, Pham Bao Son, Tran Van An, and Tran Trong Tri.
When speaking of Yin & Yang, each will have their interpretation of the concept, despite it being accustomed to all.
This idea can be seen in contemporary sculptures, specifically ones that follow abstract expressionism, subtly infused with profound notions and emotions. It’s an art that speaks for itself while representing people’s sentiments in modern times.
Hanoi- Le Quy Tong: Neo-Romanticism
Until Apr 22, Tues – Sun

Hanoi-Exhibition “Harmonize”
Until Apr 25, 09:30 am – 06 pm
V-Art Space, Floor 1 Ciputra Club, Bac Tu Liem District
From the organizer:
After the success of two solo exhibitions “It” (2005) and “The Corner to See” (2014), visual artist Tran Trung Thanh remarks on another decade of hard work with the “Harmonize” exhibition. The artist’s journey in search of answers to questions about history, the development of society, and the intersection of life, science, and art is recorded via more than 30 oil paintings. Accompanying the exhibition is artist Vuong Pat Cam and his impressive works about Hanoi.
Meticulous, persistent, and profound are what we can say about the process of Tran Trung Thanh creating his artworks. Since the Jeunes Regard competition for young artists in 2004, Tran Trung Thanh’s painting style has become more and more bold.
Neither surrealism nor hyperrealism, Tran Trung Thanh encodes his notions of life into unique characters. Each painting presents a social issue of Vietnam or the world along with questions about history, international diplomacy, and the intersection of life – science – art.
“Harmonize” is the third solo exhibition of artist Tran Trung Thanh.
