Artist Talk with Nguyen Oanh Phi Phi
Future of Tradition* would like to invite you to attend a talk with Artist Nguyen Oanh Phi Phi titled “A Contemporary Approach to Vietnamese Lacquer Painting”. This talk is the 7th in the series of events of a project to promote Vietnamese lacquer art.
Lacquer is a traditional Vietnamese art form, used primarily on paintings. For Nguyen Oanh Phi Phi, Vietnamese lacquer has been the core element in her creation.
Without using Son ta (resin obtained from lacquer tree) on paintings in a traditional way, Oanh Phi Phi made a “swim upstream with traditional techniques” and “bring new life to lacquer by experimenting lacquer on glass, using lacquer as a material in architecture… With Nguyen Oanh Phi Phi, Son ta is no longer “a fastidious and conservative material”, it is also a close bond between the Artist and Vietnamese culture.
Why did artist Nguyen Oanh Phi Phi choose to adventure with materials that need so much “time and energy”? What is the relationship between lacquer and Vietnamese culture in her assessment? We would like to invite you to come and discuss to know more about Nguyen Oanh Phi Phi’s practice, as well as Vietnamese lacquer, a special traditional art material.
Time: Saturday June 1 at 7:30 pm
Venue: Erato School of Music and Performing Art, 3rd floor, 30 Doan Thi Diem, Hanoi
