The exhibition includes prominent Polish painters, including Stanislaw Zoladz, Michal Suffczynski, and Michal Jasiewicz, and Vietnamese watercolorists, including Dinh Duc and Pham Thom.

In addition to the watercolors on display, a wooden sculpture by artist Le Ngoc Thuan from the central city of Hoi An, depicting the protection of the marine environment, stands out.

The exhibition is not only a gathering place for unique, vibrant artworks portraying the scenic landscapes of the two countries but also a destination for artists and the public to experience and exchange art.

The intervention and growth of collaboration between Polish and Vietnamese watercolor painters will serve as a link between the two cultures, bridging the geographical divide between Asia and Europe.

"I am excited to see the growing popularity of watercolor painting. This artistic medium is gaining recognition and appreciation among art lovers in Vietnam and Poland," said Nguyen Phuong, President of the Hanoi Watercolor Artists Club. "I hope the exhibition will bring great joy and inspiration to the many art lovers and enthusiasts in the capital," he said.

The exhibition is a destination for artists and the public to experience and exchange about art.

The exhibition is organized by the Hanoi Watercolor Artists Club to celebrate its first anniversary under the honorary patronage of the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Hanoi and the Vietnam Fine Arts Association.

Last year, the first exhibition of the Reunion of Colors featured nearly 20 artists and more than 80 artworks.

The exhibition runs until October 13 at the Exhibition Hall, 29 Hang Bai Street, Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi.
