The third exhibition of painter La
Huy’s work, which opens from December 8-15 at HCM City Fine Arts
Association, has sparked a mixture of feelings in viewers.
Most of the works, some of which reach the ceiling, are figurative, and others are abstract.
According to the 30-year-old artist, the images of children who appear to be miserable and troubled, symbolise the sorrow of life.
The painter said he was deeply impressed after seeing a Japanese film in which a child was singing alone in a large, deserted green field amid the blood and remnants of war.
Huynh Van Muoi, head of HCM City Fine Arts Association, said the paintings were drawn as a way to help calm the anxiety of the painter and his worries about the spiritual values being lost in materialism.
Huy is one of the five youngest members of the city’s young painters’ club, Muoi said.
