A painting exhibition about late composer Trinh Cong Son has been released online to commemorate the 19th anniversary of the artist’s death.
The exhibition, titled Loi Thien Thu Goi (Sounds of Time), features 32 paintings by artist Le Sa Long.
The works, mostly in oil, watercolour and pastel, portray composer Trinh Cong Son in daily life and with his friends.
Born in Huế in 1939, Sơn became popular in 1957 with his first song, Uot Mi (Crying Eyes).
Works featuring famous singers, such as Vietnamese-American Khanh Ly who helped keep Son’s music alive, are also featured.
One of the event’s featured paintings portrays Yoshii Michiko, a Japanese fan of Son, who fell in love with the artist.
Painter Sa Long worked with singer Trịnh Vĩnh Trinh, the composer’s younger sister, to organise the show.
Every year on this occasion, Trinh Cong Son fans meet to commemorate his life. This year, due to the influence of the Covid-19 epidemic, all meetings have been postponed.The exhibition will close on April 30./.
