VietNamNet Bridge - Sixty lacquer paintings by Vietnamese artists Nguyen Thanh Binh and Dao Hai Phong were showcased at an exhibition in Tokyo on November 21.

A painting displayed at the exhibition.

The exhibition, entitled “A Destination for Peace,” was organised by the Tokyo America Club to give Japanese viewers an idea of Vietnamese people’s daily lives.

The two artists’ creations impressed visitors, particularly the modern-style works “Dong Song Vang” (Golden River), “Dem Noel” (Christmas), “Hoang Hon Do” (Red Sunset) and “Pho Hoa” (Flower Street).

A Chinese student studying in Tokyo offered his impressions: “These works are invaluable. They are a vivid reflection of the colourful daily lives led by Vietnamese people. Although Vietnam had to experience many years of war, I can feel peaceful lives, quite old streets and long winding rivers at sunset.”

The exhibition will last until November 29, 2009.
