How to make Truc Chi (Bamboo Thread) present in all Vietnamese houses has been the dream of Phan Hai Bang, Ngo Dinh Bao Vi and their partners in the very beginning. Their dream is materializing when Truc Chi can be found now in almost all provinces and big cities in Vietnam.

“Lotuses are not lotuses, but they are lotuses,” concludes Prof. Dr. Trang Thanh Hien, a researcher in art, about the most recent artworks by Phan Hai Bang called “Confluence with Lotuses on Paper” on display at Le Ba Dang Art Museum (15 Le Loi St., Hue City.)

A solo exhibition, entitled "Ngau lien tren giay" (“Lotus in spontaneity - on paper”) by artist Phan Hai Bang, was opened on the afternoon of November 18 at Le Ba Dang art space (Hue Museum of Fine Arts, 15 Le Loi Street, Hue City).

Artist Phan Hai Bang, a co-founder of the art of Truc Chi, has been honored with the Lebadang Art Foundation Award. This is one of the awards established in accordance with the will of the late talented artist Le Ba Dang.
