The exhibition “The Language of Water” showcases over 30 medium and small-sized paintings, capturing the lifestyle, culture, people, and architecture of Asian countries the artist has traveled to.
The artworks also celebrate the beauty and diversity of Vietnamese culture and its people through the use of giang paper.
Giang paper, derived from the giang tree, a type of bamboo, is primarily used in rituals associated with festivals and ancestor worship.
This paper has a rough texture and high absorbency, making it ideal for watercolor paintings.
