The exhibition gives viewers the feeling of stepping into another world, where the rustling of the wind through the bushes and the blooming flowers become the material to evoke emotions. Each delicate brushstroke on the soft silk background allows viewers to immerse themselves in the gentle movement of nature.
The exhibition "Buzz" features silk paintings revolving around people and plants in living spaces.
The artist shared: "Nature and humanity have been major themes for me in recent years. The post-COVID-19 period has changed my perspective in many aspects. I always want to be more positive and spread more soothing emotions. Amidst the hustle and bustle of life, I want to capture peaceful moments when we gaze at a cluster of plants swaying in the wind, a bush of flowers blooming, the gentle rustling of plants stirring our souls. I love such peaceful moments."
Artist Một Quả Tắc (real name Lê Thị Quế Hương, born in 1996) in front of her artwork.
The silk paintings of Một Quả Tắc are not merely reproductions of natural landscapes, but a combination of exquisite technique and creative artistic thinking. In each work, she demonstrates mastery of subtle color transitions on silk, revealing the translucent beauty characteristic of this material. This makes the works not only visually vibrant but also emotionally profound, inviting viewers to feel the subtle stirrings in the small movements of the plants and trees.
Each painting is like a page in a diary.
Each painting seems to tell stories of memories, connected to the artist's living space and personal experiences. They depict small patches of greenery in the heart of the city, peaceful flower gardens from her memories. The artist explains that the absence of nature in her small room inspired her to create paintings of plants and flowers, as a way to fill the void and rediscover her connection with nature.
"Seeing something emotionally resonant before me, I can capture it, transforming the beauty of the moment into enduring beauty. The emotional connection between the object, the artist, and the viewer is established. For me, each artwork is a way of communicating and interacting with people. Despite the ups and downs, the fluctuating emotions, I have painted with the calmest brushstrokes," shared artist Một Quả Tắc.
The work "Love.Me.Trap"
The exhibition "Bustling" is not only a personal artistic journey for Một Quả Tắc, but also an invitation for viewers to join her in rediscovering peaceful moments in life. In the context of a chaotic modern society, each painting becomes a tranquil resting place, where viewers can temporarily set aside their worries and immerse themselves in the gentleness of nature.
