Italy: From Plein Air to Atelier exhibition runs until July 9

Exhibition “Italy: From Plein Air to Atelier” commemorates 50-year Vietnam-Italy diplomatic relationship

The exhibition “Italy: From Plein Air To Atelier” is part of a series of events commemorating the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and Italy, marking a half-century of friendly ties and traditional cooperation between the two countries.

Over the past 50 years, the two countries have witnessed a meaningful journey of connection since the inception of diplomatic ties between Vietnam and Italy. These years have fostered deep economic and diplomatic relations and provided opportunities for both nations to explore and disseminate cultural values.

“Italy: From Plein Air To Atelier” is a remarkable reflection of Italy's unique natural and cultural heritage through the perspective and artistic practice of two contemporary Vietnamese artists, Bui Duy Khanh and Duong Thuy. They recreate Italy's distinctive nature, architecture, and culture and incorporate their perspectives, thoughts, and emotions, taking viewers on a journey of discovery into the fusion and intersection of two cultures.

Through their use of colour, light, and unique artistic techniques, Bui Duy Khanh and Duong Thuy transform their remarkable experiences in Italy into vibrant and meaningful Vietnamese artworks. The exhibition not only presents an excellent artistic interpretation of the unique aspects of both nations but also reflects the importance of diplomatic relations in promoting cultural and artistic exchanges.

Join us on this journey of exploration where tradition meets modernity and the past intertwines with the future. The artworks of Bui Duy Khanh and Duong Thuy encapsulate their unwavering passion and dedication to art, as well as provide an exceptional interpretation of the unique facets of Vietnam and Italy. This exhibition celebrates the harmonious blend of nature, culture, and artistic expressions, serving as a testament to the enduring friendship between our two countries.

Facilitating two-way business between Vietnam and Italy As a country, Italy, whose GDP growth has been rather stagnant for a while, breathes optimism and energy from Vietnam. Both countries place a strong emphasis on values such as family, traditions, beauty, and food, and both have a rich cultural heritage that is deeply ingrained in their societies. Additionally, Vietnam and Italy are similar in terms of their geographical size and administrative structure, which does provide a basis for more effective collaboration.
