Thirty artists from the Netherlands and 10 from Vietnam are showcasing 70 works at the exhibition Meeting Point – Dutch Coloured Art, at the HCM City Fine Arts Museum.
Roby Bellemans, curator and organiser of the exhibition, said it aims to show contemporary trends.
Ma Thanh Cao, the museum's director, said the exhibition features paintings, installation works, graffiti, digital art, video and sculptures in an eclectic range of materials and styles and topics. It reflects various topics, from climate change and environmental protection to Dutch and Vietnamese landscape and people.
Simon Borst from Amsterdam focuses on plein air paintings using oil paint on canvas or paper. His works, including Home Abstraction and Meadow Fence, depict subjects from nature, landscape and city sites.
His paintings have been displayed in the Netherlands, Turkey, Austria and Greece.
The museum's deputy director, Hua Thanh Binh, presents abstract paintings depicting the deep sea. He uses images of nude women and dark colours for his works.
The exhibition will run until May 15 at 97A Pho Duc Chinh Street in District 1.
