Come to artist Doan Duc Hung in the misty mountain town of Da Lat to tell his story to the audience , artist Le Thiet Cuong is an important figure in the role of curator. Le Thiet Cuong and Miss Ngoc Han become charming MCs to lead the story for the opening of the gallery.
Although he has participated in many group exhibitions, Doan Duc Hung has only had his own solo exhibition so far. This is also a sign of the carefulness of this talented artist towards his profession, towards his audience and towards himself. The event was also attended by many experts in the art world such as painter Dang Tien (Chairman of the Hai Phong Fine Arts Association), painter Bui Van Tuat, sculptor Pham Van Hang, etc.
Some works introduced at the exhibition
Speaking at the exhibition opening ceremony, curator Le Thiet Cuong shared: "In art, there is no such thing as big or small subject matter, oil painting or lacquer painting... it is just a medium. Even if it is a story of one person, if it can generalize the story of the human world, it becomes art. In the private there is the public, in the public there is the private. One in all, all in one. If it goes through your heart, it will reach the hearts of others."
Painter Doan Duc Hung has always disliked the constraints and narrowness in his paintings, but he also doesn't want his works to fall into "naturalism". "It's not a terrible statement, basically when I paint, I follow my emotions without any restrictions, trying to complete the work to the best of my ability", the painter confided.
Therefore, when looking at Doan Duc Hung's paintings, viewers realize that he does not paint in a humming, careless, or meticulous manner. The brush strokes soaked in paint flow on the canvas following the flow of emotions, not following or forcing the shape. The brush strokes are free, not constrained by the shape, enslaved by the shape, or constrained by the shape.
“I imagine that before drawing, Hung would sit in front of his character, admire, confide or ponder about that character for a long time, slowly wait and wait until his emotions are full, then he would draw very quickly, rapidly, in one breath without stopping. In many paintings, viewers see the speed of the brush flying, gliding on the canvas as if afraid that the drawing action cannot keep up with the emotions. Drawing is like meditation, there are only two paths, either sudden enlightenment or gradual enlightenment. Hung belongs to the sudden enlightenment and sudden drawing sect,” curator Le Thiet Cuong confided.
