Hanoi exhibition explores diverse visions of contemporary women in over 100 artworks

Organized by the group of artists Muoi Bon and Tudo Art Garden Club in collaboration with Aqua Art Center, the exhibition is taking place at the Aqua Art Center at 44 Yen Phu Street in Hanoi.

Participating artists include Nguyen Ngoc Cuong, Nguyen Xuan Dam, Hoang Ngoc Hoan, Nguyen Quoc Hung, Tran Thi Phuong Huyen, Vu Quang Hung, Tran Duc Lan, Duong Thi Ngoc Lua, To Hoang Nguyen, Pham Thai, Bui Duc Thanh, Nguyen Hong Tuan, Giap Van Tuan, and Dao Anh Viet, among others, each contributing distinct interpretations of womanhood.

‘Her’ reflects countless definitions of women and feminine beauty, ranging from innocent children and youthful girls to hardworking elderly rural mothers. All are portrayed as beautiful through the eyes of the artists.

Artist Duong Thi Ngoc Lua compares women to flowers that do not need to be overly showy, but can quietly bloom and bring vitality to the spaces they inhabit.

Her paintings of women sleeping among flowers with cats resting nearby draw attention for their gentle yet captivating sense of femininity.

Artist To Hoang Nguyen expresses fascination with the human body, highlighting its fragility and vitality, while Nguyen Quoc Hung’s works emphasize the youthful, delicate beauty of young women.

In contrast, Bui Duc Thanh presents a bolder and more sensual interpretation of the female form.

Artist Tran Duc Lan focuses on rural mothers whose weathered faces reflect a life of hardship and resilience.

One of his artworks features a bust of a rural mother placed on a water jar surrounded by duckweed, creating a deeply emotional impression on viewers.

Beyond its artistic diversity, ‘Her’ engages the public through related activities such as group life-drawing sessions and discussion events on women and art, enriching the overall experience for visitors.
