Displayed here are 60 artworks by 16 calligraphers combined with the application of light technology, offering the public a modern perspective on the art of calligraphy.
Curator Nguyen Thanh Tung stated that the event aims to infuse a contemporary air into calligraphy, typically seen as a “classic” art. The calligraphic works are married with light, which infuses new colors and beauty into the art form.
Le Xuan Kieu, Director of the Centre for Van Mieu – Quoc Tu Giam Cultural and Scientific Activities, expressed hope that the exhibition would inspire and motivate calligraphers, especially young artists, to create more innovative works in the future, thereby contributing to the promotion of calligraphy and cultural activities, in general, at the Temple of Literature.
The exhibition will run until November 30.
