Abstract finger painting exhibition in Da Lat

The paintings resemble pieces of Da Lat with an abstract style, which feature the emotions of Vo Trinh Bien. Painter Bien expressed his hope that his works would offer visitors new experiences.

Painter Bien came from a poor family in Quang Ngai Province and matriculated at Da Lat University more than 20 years ago. He studied literature and worked part time to earn a living.

When painter Bien first began painting 15 years ago, he used a more conventional approach, utilizing palm paintbrushes. Then, nearly 10 years ago, he had the idea of painting with his fingers instead. He said that finger painting is fascinating.

This art form has hidden nuances different from those of standard painting methods. For example, the artist can change a colour’s shade by applying different amounts of pressure with his fingers.

Bien has held 15 solo exhibitions including the following titles: Mat Na (The Mask), Pho Toi (My Street), Giai Dieu Cua Truc (Melody of the small bamboo), Dong Chay (The stream), Nhung Sac Mau Ky Uc (Colours of memories), Dau An Thoi Gian (Marks of time), Than Phan (Fate), 31 Ngay (31 Days), Thang Long Ngay Ay (Thang Long Then), Nang (Sunshine) and Vu Dieu Mua Xuan (Dance of Spring).

This is his seventeenth exhibition and will run until August 20.
