Accordingly, watercolour paintings by Bui Duy Khanh and Duong Thuy feature a harmonious symphony of Italy’s unique natural and cultural heritage through the perspectives of two contemporary Vietnamese artists.
Khanh’s paintings are inspired by the colours in oil paintings and frescoes in Italy, the interaction of light and shadow in Italian architectural masterpieces, along with the marvelous landscapes of the country.
Self-taught artist Khanh, 51, is currently the chairman of the International Watercolor Association in Vietnam.
His paintings are displayed at the Hue Museum of Fine Arts and HCM City Museum of Fine Arts, and at Krabi Museum and Chiang Mai Museum, Thailand.
Meanwhile, Thuy’s paintings reflect the beauty of nature in Italy, ranging from the colour of the sky, and the shape of trees to the reflection in water.
The exhibition will run until July 9 at LAGarden Restaurant in Thu Thiem, Thu Duc city./.
