Two artists create art works on "do" paper

The “do” paper exhibition aims to help visitors understand better about the development of this traditional material which serves as the base for a magical mixture of tradition and modern in the art works. Painter Bui Vu Phong said: "Art works on display are combinations of calligraphy art works and water-color paintings on poonah paper. It’s a mixture of traditional and modern arts on poonah paper aimed at seeking meditation and balance in human life philosophy. Vu Thanh Tung and I follow two opposite styles of art works, one specializes in calligraphy while the other creates modern paintings."
The exhibition will run until June 12^th.
