The Tet Ty (the Year of the Snake) exhibition features 80 diverse works of art by the G39 group, presenting their skills on various materials including pastel, paper, wood carvings, acrylics, oil, lacquer and with the creation of ceramic and metal sculptures.
One of the 12 symbolic animals of the lunar year, the snake holds a special significance that the others do not. The image of the snake is closely associated with Buddhism and the worship of snakes is an ancient belief of the Vietnamese people, embodying two main meanings - as a totem and as a water deity. People in Việt Nam have deified this creature, worshiping it in hopes that it will protect them. This can be found in fairy tales, legends, customs, literature, art and sculpture.
Not exclusively taking inspiration from snakes, the 10th annual exhibition of G39 also presents a vibrant gallery with diverse works on various themes.
From the peaceful countryside scenes of artist Nguyen Thanh Quang to the vibrant still lifes and fresh flowers by artist Binh Nhi, visitors are transported to the landscapes of apricot and plum blossoms in the highlands by artist Vuong Linh. They also have a chance to joyfully celebrate the festival with artists Viet Anh and Hoang Phuong Lien and experience the excitement of traditional folk games in the festive atmosphere of Cu Da ancient village through the paintings of artist Nguyen Quoc Thang.
The exhibition will run at the Vietnam Museum of Fine Arts until January 3.
