Exhibition space "Ceramic Invitations" in Hanoi.

During his lifetime, writer Nguyen Huy Thiep was a lover of painting, especially ceramic painting. He liked to paint on Bat Trang ceramics. One of the unique characteristics in his literary works from short stories, novels, poems to plays is the sharp, short dialogues, full of hidden meanings, sparkling with double-sided symbols. This suggests a lot for the form and he brought it into his ceramic works.

Writer Nguyen Huy Thiep often draws portraits of friends, redraws from impressions in memories, memories of special events that happened in life as a way to save milestones of time. And he calls it a way of talking with memories. Interestingly, he always keeps handwritten sentences, poems, proverbs of his predecessors or of himself that he feels are pleasing and suitable for his ceramic works.

Nguyen Huy Thiep started painting on ceramics in 1993. His works mark a rich and impressive creative journey.

A son of writer Nguyen Huy Thiep shared: "My father's literary works have inspired a lot of art. When we discussed the plan to exhibit ceramic works with artist Le Thiet Cuong, he was very supportive and happily accepted to be the curator. And we organized this event with the desire to honor and remember our beloved father."

The capital's public visits the "Ceramic Cards" exhibition space.

In particular, this exhibition brings together many works by 42 famous artists such as: Le Thiet Cuong, Dinh Quan, Dao Hai Phong, Dang Xuan Hoa, Ngo Phuong Binh, Ly Tran Quynh Giang, Le Thi Minh Tam, Nguyen Thu Thuy... based on inspiration from sentences in literary works, poems, plays... of writer Nguyen Huy Thiep.

Sharing with reporters, artist Le Thiet Cuong said: "This is the first time we have had an event that has gathered the largest number of people in a program that we have ever organized. Each artist has a different inspiration, some draw based on the plot or the plot of the story, some draw based on suggestions from the dialogue of the characters or even the story title, and there are even artists who write a whole piece of their favorite work on a ceramic plate...

Each person has a different voice, even though it is only Bat Trang blue-white ceramic, monochromatic but still multi-tonal and multi-colored. It can also be considered as candles commemorating the 75th birthday of writer Nguyen Huy Thiep.
