The exhibition “Love Story” brings together 36 works by eight women artists, offering diverse perspectives on the theme of love. Moving beyond familiar romantic narratives, the artworks explore emotions rooted in memory, everyday life, and personal introspection. The exhibition provides an opportunity for viewers to encounter subtle emotional nuances expressed through a range of materials and artistic styles.
“Love Story” approaches love from multiple viewpoints
According to the organizers, “Love Story” approaches love from multiple viewpoints — expanding from romance into memory, nature, daily life, and the inner movements of the human spirit. Through 36 paintings on view at B&C Maison d’Art (Hanoi), each artist shares personal stories through her own visual language, creating a display that is diverse in medium and style yet connected by emotional resonance.
Participating artist Vũ Thùy Mai presents a series of nostalgic still lifes composed in layered arrangements and subdued tones, evoking quietude and contemplation. Flowers, ceramics, and familiar objects are placed within tranquil interiors, suggesting a sense of calm and stillness.
Working in silk, Lương Thu Hà explores the image of women in relation to nature, creating soft, atmospheric, and poetic compositions. Mỹ Ngọc adopts black-and-white rubber print techniques, positioning the human body in dialogue with plants, light, and shadow, resulting in a strong visual rhythm.
For Tống Ngọc, love does not unfold through specific narratives but appears as a fragile realm of memory. Images of children, young women, and flowers drift gently across her silk paintings, evoking innocence and freedom.
Reflecting on her practice, Tống Ngọc shares: “Painting is an experiential practice that allows me to give voice to my inner self. It is not only a profession, but also a journey of listening, observing, and deeply connecting with layers of emotional space.” For her, love in art is not tied to romantic relationships but expressed through pure emotional states and inner freedom.
Đỗ Duyên leaves a strong impression with her motif of young women with long flowing hair, used as a central visual element to reflect varied inner emotional states. Meanwhile, Trần Ngọc Ánh presents lacquer paintings inspired by everyday life, featuring cats, plants, and familiar objects rendered in warm, decorative tones.
Concluding the exhibition are lacquer works by Đỗ Thị Kim Đoan, focusing on portraits of women and children from Vietnam’s northern highlands. Her earthy palettes and layered surfaces convey cultural depth and familial warmth.
According to the organizers, the exhibition highlights diversity in painting styles while gently revealing feminine emotional perspectives — subtle yet profound. Visitors are invited to experience love as an expansive dimension of life, shaped by the most intimate and ordinary moments. “Love Story” remains open to the public with free admission through December 22, 2025, at B&C Maison d’Art, 82G Thợ Nhuộm Street, Hanoi.
