The exhibition of one-off graphic paintings held in Quy Nhon city, Binh Dinh province attracted many art lovers.
40 paintings by 10 local artists offered a panorama of unheard-of drawing. The paintings were created on pieces of mica or sheets of glass. Also, each is a one-off.
Apart from the drawing brush, artists also used different tools, even by hands, to perform their works.
Some mixed kerosene with drawing ink to create different background colors or splashed kerosene on their paintings to create damp spots, such as Vuon dem (night garden) by Le Trong Nghia, Bong bien (Shadow of the sea) by Le Thi Tuan, and Trang (Moon) by Nguyen Dinh Viet.
Other artists used animals and things to make images real, with Khong gian xanh (Green space) by Nguyen Dinh Viet.
Le Trong Nghia, the youngest painter of 10, said the performance helped improve their imagination and creativeness. The contents of paintings were mostly born in mind, but he sometimes painted with sudden inspiration.
“I feel comfortable when performing one-off paintings,” said Le Thi Tuan. “Many felt they are under compulsion to paint with specific dimensions 40cmx60cm, but I think it is reasonable.”
When painting, I value the emotion and sudden inspiration which help improve my imagination and creativeness, she added.
The exhibition might be considered as the achievement Binh Dinh’s artists reaped after joining the 10-day event held by Vietnam Fine Arts Association in Ha Noi. After the exhibit, eight will be added to the Vietnam Fine Arts Association’s collection.
The paintings were highly appreciated, said Nguyen Quoc Hung, head of Binh Dinh Fine Arts Branch. The exhibit presented our new experiences to the public.
Many compared 10 days for experiencing the performance of one-off paintings as the starting point for a long journey, but it was enough for artists to feel the unheard-of art. How to enhance the performance depends on each artist’s creativeness.
Many artists are eager to perform one-off paintings. “Hopefully, they will continue to study to create more valuable one-off graphic paintings,” Hung said.
