This exhibition by Dang Mau Tuu is a heartfelt return to the native place, exploring emotions deeply rooted in the conscience of a devoted son always longing for his homeland. The paintings, rich in realistic colors, convey the artist’s righteousness and simplicity, bearing his profound sentiments of a bygone era.

The exhibition is a literary and artistic event of interest to the people of Binh Dinh

Dang Mau Tuu shared, “I have a homeland, where I was born, with an old house brimming with countless memories. Although I have chosen Hue as my second homeland; after 60 years, I return like a homing pigeon through my earnest paintings. Like the endearing call of ‘nẫu’, I paint the days of yore, the childhood memories, and the stories of the people in the land of Nẫu...”

“Dang Mau Tuu not only recounts his own childhood but also revives the homeland of Binh Dinh in the childhood memories of the older generation. He paints with nostalgia, with the thoughts and recollections of many years spent away from home,” shared one of his friends while admiring the "Quê Nẫu" painting exhibition.

The exhibition will run until January 2, 2024.
