Artist Dang Thi Thu An is one of the prominent faces among the promising generation of 1980s artists from Hue. With works deeply characterized by traditional culture, especially depicting women figures and áo dài, she has contributed to creating a unique impression in contemporary Vietnamese painting.

Vietnam Cultural Heritage Association on May 31 launched a painting contest with the theme "Vietnamese cultural heritages through paintings" in Hue City.

In a house at the end of a small alley on Pham Thi Lien Street, Le Phan Quoc is diligently finishing the paintings “Gateway to Dien Tho Palace” and “Hue Features” with Vietnamese lacquer. For him, Rhus Succedanea lacquer (hence forth, R.S. lacquer) has always had a strange attraction because it brings subtle and profound characteristics to a painting that no other material does.

An exhibition reserved for female artists takes place in late October, the month in which there is the day that celebrates Vietnamese women. People go there not only to see paintings, but also to immerse themselves in a women world so that they can understand and love more deeply the stories which the female artists tell through their paintings.
