Every fine art work is the artists’ hearts for the late musician Trinh Cong Son

According to artist Le Huynh Lam, the gallery is a random meeting of artists. By the love to for Trinh’s music, each artist has his own paintings about the late musician’s music, and they gather in the gallery to express their affection toward the talented musician of Hue.

Therefore, the fine art works are named after the lyrics in Trinh's music, such as: “Mây và tóc em bay” (“Cloud and your hair flying”), “Đường phượng bay” (“The Flying Flamboyant Street”), “Sen buồn một mình” (“Lotus is sad and alone”), “Từ khi em là nguyệt” (“Since you are the moon”), and “Sỏi đá cũng cần có nhau” (“Even stones and pebbles will need each other”), etc. Among these fine art works, there is a sculpture work by Ha Minh Tuan, showing the portrait of the late musician Trinh Cong Son.

The exhibition takes place until April 6.

“Once I happened to hear about my old native land…”

In 2000, in the short piece entitled “Hue Diary,” written when he returned for the first Hue Festival, musician Trinh Cong Son wrote, “When you have a place to return, or to visit from time to time, you are very fortunate. There, you have a river, a mountain, and you can find again your old friends whose hair used to be black has now turned grey. You might suddenly meet a Hue girl on the street and ask her, ‘Is there anything new in Hue now?’ And immediately, or perhaps by chance, she will recite the two lines from a poem by Bui Giang: “Da thua xu Hue bay gio/ Van con nui Ngu ben bo song Huong” (“Yes, sir, Hue now/ Still has Ngu Mount by the Huong river…”)
