"Quê Nẫu" (Nẫu refers to Binh Dinh) is the theme of an art exhibition opened on December 20th by Dang Mau Tuu - a painter, at the Provincial Convention Center of Binh Dinh. The exhibition was organized by the Provincial Literature and Artistic Association of Binh Dinh.

One rainy day in Hue, I received an elaborate and impressive design for artist Dang Mau Tuu’s upcoming painting exhibition in Hanoi. It is surprising because he recently had an exhibition “Aotearoa - a region of white clouds” at Hue Museum of Fine Arts in June 2023, after he had just returned from New Zealand. Four months later, he continued with his own exhibition titled “Specks of dust in life” in Hanoi with 20 works painted on acrylic. This is Dang Mau Tuu’s first solo exhibition in Hanoi.

Each painting is a combination of countless specks of dust in all shapes and sizes. They are featured in diverse and contrasting states: static or dynamic, harmless or poisonous, merging or separating, stirring, or even whirling in the lively universe.

The island nation of New Zealand through the perspective of Dang Mau Tuu, the artist, is not only beautiful but also very peaceful. All are conveyed via paintings through a long trip, with a lot of inspiration and energy by the artist.

The exhibition will introduce to the public 23 works by various artists, including Phan Thanh Binh, Dang Thi Thu An, Lai Thanh Dung, Dang Mau Tuu, Dang Mau Triet, etc.

Not everyone has had an inadequate but innocently joyful childhood and not everyone lives with memories of countless games as children. Not everyone has experienced the laughter with their village friends from game to game…

Dang Mau Tuu, the painter, Vice Chairman of Hue Cultural Heritage Research and Development Association, Standing Committee member of the Campaign Board of the construction of musician Trinh Cong Son statue at Hue City, shared that, in less than a year, from the date of announcement through many communication channels, and directly sending invitations to nearly 100 domestic and foreign authors, the Organizing Committee has received 9 sketches of Musician Trinh Cong Son's statue.
