The art exhibition "Life around us 2024" takes place from June 26 to July 4 at 16 Ngo Quyen, Hanoi, organized by the Club for Creation of the Theme of Building the Fatherland (Vietnam Fine Arts Association).

This is an annual exhibition of the Club on the theme of building the Fatherland since 2001. Artist Tran Quang Thai, Chairman of the Club, shared that in the past, the exhibition praised the beauty of labor production in the industrial and agricultural sectors. In recent years, the exhibition has focused on praising the beauty of life, the beauty of craft villages, the beauty of Vietnamese landscapes with colors, compositions, and the eyes of Vietnamese people. The way the artists express themselves is closest to the hearts of viewers with simple, ordinary beauty from new discoveries in daily life. Thereby contributing to creating a playground for all artists and art lovers, making daily life more beautiful and meaningful.

As a guest at the exhibition, Prof. Dr. Dam Won Kim Chang Bae - Vice President of the Korean Arts Association highly appreciated the enthusiasm of Vietnamese artists. He said: "Art has no borders, no limits. In the future, I hope that Vietnamese and Korean artists will have the opportunity to meet, support each other to develop, and bring valuable works to the world. I also hope to organize an exhibition on lotus paintings and Buddhism with the Vietnam Fine Arts Association and lotus painters such as painter Nguyen Thi Kim Duc."
