The exhibition “Love Story” is currently on view at B&C Maison d’Art (Hanoi), presenting 36 works by eight Vietnamese women artists. Conceived as an emotionally resonant visual journey, the exhibition explores love through diverse artistic languages and materials — from silk and lacquer to printmaking.Opening on December 13, 2025, the exhibition has drawn the attention of art professionals and the wider public alike.
Love Story unfolds as a visual passage in which eight artists present eight distinct aesthetic worlds, united by a common aspiration: to articulate love in its most nuanced forms. Here, love extends beyond romance to encompass intimate responses to nature, memory, the body, and life’s most fragile moments.Each artwork becomes an emotional fragment — beauty distilled from quiet observation and subtle inner movement. The exhibition invites viewers to engage in a personal dialogue with painting through their own sensibilities.
From the nostalgic still lifes of Vũ Thùy Mai and the structurally dynamic abstractions of Phạm Thị Hồng Sâm, to the dreamlike lyricism of Lương Thu Hà, each artist offers a singular rhythm. Mỹ Ngọc narrates through stark black-and-white printmaking; Tống Ngọc evokes gentle memories of childhood and flowering seasons; Đỗ Duyên employs flowing strands of hair as expressive lines of emotion; Trần Ngọc Ánh constructs an intimate world of cats, leaves, and chairs infused with quiet wit; and Kim Đoan concludes the exhibition with lyrical lacquer portraits of women from Vietnam’s northern highlands, rendered with rustic depth and humanity.
Vũ Thùy Mai (b. 1990), a graduate of the National University of Art Education and holder of a Master’s degree in Cultural Studies from the Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences, creates nostalgic still lifes. Flowers, fruits, and ceramics inhabit classical interiors rendered in greens, muted yellows, and soft purples, evoking stillness and serenity.
Phạm Thị Hồng Sâm (b. 1984) pursues abstraction through segmented compositions softened by continuous curves. The interplay of warm and cool tones generates a sense of dynamic movement and open creative space.
Lương Thu Hà (b. 1981), a member of the Vietnam Fine Arts Association, works primarily with silk. Female figures dissolve into nature through translucent layers and gentle tonal transitions, creating dreamlike and poetic atmospheres.
Mỹ Ngọc (b. 1982), also a member of the Vietnam Fine Arts Association, employs black-and-white rubber print techniques. The coexistence of the female body and natural elements in strong contrasts produces compositions that are rustic yet contemplative.
Tống Ngọc (1984) explores silk as a space of memory and delicate emotional states. Elongated compositions, slow rhythms, and translucent colors create mist-like images of young women, children, and flowers.
Đỗ Duyên (1984) centers her work on the motif of young women with long flowing hair, using it as a primary expressive line to convey feminine emotional states ranging from quiet introspection to inner tension.
Trần Ngọc Ánh (1983), a member of the Vietnam Fine Arts Association, presents a poetic and intimate world where familiar images — cats, chairs, foliage — inhabit warm, lyrical spaces.
Đỗ Thị Kim Đoan (1958) works in lacquer, depicting women and children from northern ethnic communities. Her simplified compositions and layered surfaces create depth imbued with lyricism and human warmth.
With the convergence of eight women artists, “Love Story” becomes more than a painting exhibition; it forms an emotional landscape where art serves as a refined language of the human spirit.
The exhibition remains on view through December 22, 2025.
