exhibition, covering various genres from oil painting to installations.
Speaking at the opening ceremony,
Huynh Van Muoi, President of the Ho Chi Minh City Fine Arts Association, said
that the exhibition takes place in the context of Vietnam
and Japan’s
celebration of the 45th founding anniversary of diplomatic ties, helping to
tighten the two countries’ friendship and increase the exchange of their fine
arts.
According to Muoi, the artworks
reflect part of Japan’s
contemporary fine arts which combine modern life and the preservation of
traditional culture and history.

organised more regularly to enhance the bilateral friendship and solidarity.
