With 65 oil paintings and sketches, the exhibition takes visitors into a multidimensional art space, where the past and present, Vietnamese and French cultures, reality and expression blend together.
The exhibition "The Wind" takes place at the solemn space of the Ho Chi Minh City Museum of Fine Arts.
The name "S wind" is not only an image that evokes the inner winds from childhood in Dong Thap, but also a metaphor for invisible fluctuations, emotional flows and strong impacts on the human soul.
The wind is invisible, but we can feel it through each movement.In my painting, the wind is a change, an emotion, what affects the soul" - the artist shared.
In 2013, when she arrived in Normandy (France), she entered an artistic space imbued with heritage, where masters such as Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir were eager to explore the light, colors and the Talents of nature.
"The powerful and haunting effects of the illusion in Kim Chi's paintings often immediately attract viewers from the first minute. Next, they can vaguely recognize the dark historical periods of humanity or the age-old periods in their own lives, a world of depth that is difficult to explore and discover - artist Luong Luu Bien shared about the exhibition "The Wind".
Sharing at the opening ceremony on the afternoon of June 14, Dr. Ma Thanh Cao - former Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Museum of Fine Arts, said that she had followed Kim Chi when she was still in Vietnam and was very moved by her maturity in the painting: "The way of looking at life is quite unique. Instead of mentioning the charm of France, Kim Chi sees there the hidden corners of life, loneliness, boredom...".
The works in the exhibition revolve around three main thematic axes: Wind, People and Nature.
Kim Chi was born and raised in Cao Lanh City, Dong Thap Province. She is a former lecturer of the Faculty of Fine Arts of Dong Thap University, a member of the Dong Thap Provincial Fine Arts Association.
In 2015, she founded the La Seine et le Mekong Fine Arts Association, aiming to facilitate Vietnam - France cultural exchange through the artistic path as President of the Association.
