A calligraphy exhibition titled Net Dan Thanh has recently opened at the Temple of Literature in Hanoi. The exhibition showcases 60 artworks by 16 calligraphers, beautifully combined with light technology.
The displayed works feature a rich variety of styles, demonstrating the skillful art of painting words on paper.
Curator Nguyen Thanh Tung stated that the event aims to introduce a contemporary perspective on calligraphy, which is traditionally seen as a classical form of art.
By incorporating light and utilizing modern techniques, the exhibition offers visitors a fresh and vibrant experience of calligraphy, bringing new colors and beauty to this ancient discipline.
For the calligraphers, this exhibition represents a new approach and allows them to infuse their works with new emotions and feelings.
Le Xuan Kieu, the Director of the Van Mieu-Quoc Tu Giam Cultural and Scientific Activities Center, expressed his hope that this exhibition would inspire and motivate calligraphers, especially the younger generation, to create more innovative works in the future. This, in turn, would further promote calligraphy and cultural activities at the Temple of Literature.
The exhibition will run until November 30.
