Artist: Trieu Khac Tien
Deputy Dean of Painting Department, Vietnam University of Fine Arts / Lecturer for Lacquer Studies

The Japan Foundation Center for Cultural Exchange in Vietnam proudly presents that an Exhibition “The Oriental Tale”, which is a first opportunity to show an overview of lacquer culture between Vietnam and Japan by the artist Trieu Khac Tien, will be held from March 25 in Hanoi.

This exhibition offers a glimpse into the delicate and special techniques of lacquer painting of both countries and gets a deeper understanding of how these two cultures of lacquer art are influenced by each other and integrated into one beautiful work.

As the organizer, we believe that the lacquer works of this exhibition will attract many people and convey positive energy, with the artist’s great passion and creative spirit to connect both valuable characteristics. We hope that the viewers can enjoy not only the variation and the richness of the lacquer works but also the heart that the artist, Trieu Khac Tien put into his works.
