Through the theme of the exhibition, the artists convey their emotions, reflections, and aesthetic perspectives on humanity, nature, and contemporary life. The image of the horse, symbolizing strength, endurance, freedom, and the aspiration to rise, is explored through various visual lenses, at times powerful and majestic, at times lyrical and profound.

The exhibition not only contributes to enriching the cultural and artistic life of Hue during the traditional Tet holiday, but also demonstrates the professional responsibility and companion role of the art community in the locality’s cultural development.

The exhibition runs until February 27.
