What About Vietnam - S4-1- Art in Vietnam - Storytelling at its best

Time: 46:17

Play

Art in Vietnam is everywhere. Sometimes it’s hard to actually know what you are looking at. As a tourist busy trying to cram so much in to a stay in Vietnam, the artist’s true technique or storytelling, is often lost on us.

Art takes many forms in Vietnam, as in lacquerware, paintings, silk, lanterns, pottery, fashion, homewares, and as you will learn in this show, there is a difference between an “Artist” and a Craftsman, who may produce the same style or product many times, yet it takes true skill to do this. We discuss the differences. And then of course how do you know what’s real or fake? Believe it, or not! Not everything is a copy, or fake!

With the advantage of my talented artist Bridget March, we are going to take it back 100 years and really talk about how Vietnam has developed in the art world.

Find out what some of the older forms of art told in their depictions of mountains that were meant to represent heaven; it’s rivers -the paths of life, and people painted so tiny they are meant to symbolize the very small space they take up in the whole universe. Nothing short of profound.

Bridget is a brilliant story teller. An artist herself of considerable note, Bridget is originally from the UK. As a successful product designer of 20 years, she went on to became a senior lecturer at Leeds University of Art. Following her dreams, she moved to Saigon in 2012 to fulfil her lifelong ambition of being a full-time artist. That love affair has only grown over time as she pursues her own work in Hoi An and encourages and supports local artists in central Vietnam.

She has published 3 books about Hoi An, Sapa and Saigon and has had 7 solo exhibitions of her paintings and drawings in Vietnam galleries and at International hotels.

She is also well recognised as the curator for the wonderful art gallery space at the Anantara Hoi An Resort. She has her own delightful gallery located in Hoi An – See here for details

Stick around for this show, as it’s got lots of hidden gems.
