A group sculpture exhibition opened at the Applied Arts Gallery, 5 Phan Dang Luu Street, HCMC’s Binh Thanh District on the weekend.
The exhibition called Sculpture Saigon Hanoi has pieces made by 15 sculptors from both cities.
The 30 sculptures are modern and moody, made from mixed mediums such as wood, stone and metal in abstract and organic shapes.
The artists aimed to create new perceptions about Vietnamese contemporary culture and art.
They said they hoped the show would promote sculpture to buyers as interest had declined in the artform and people rarely bought pieces to display at their homes anymore.
The sculptors are Bui Hai Son, Vinh Do, Dao Hai Chau, Tran Viet Hung, Tran Mai Quoc Khanh, Nguyen Ngoc Lam, Hoang Tuong Minh, Tran Thanh Nam, Phan Phuong, Vu Quang Sang, Nguyen Xuan Tien, Tran Trong Tri, Khong Do Tuyen, Luong Van Viet Na Nguyen Hoai Huyen Vu.
The exhibition will run untill September 18.
