For the first time, the ancient brick walls, wide courtyards, and traditional architecture of Van Mieu serve as a striking backdrop for modern art. Visitors can admire both Vietnam’s cultural heritage and contemporary pieces in a unique, immersive experience. The contrast between contemporary art and the historic setting creates a powerful bridge between past and present. Each artist brings a unique world and story, told through diverse colors and materials. Visitors will see familiar scenes of Hanoi—but through an entirely new lens. Polish-Vietnamese artist Minh Dam drew praise for his delicate watercolor collection displayed in the heritage space, offering a beautiful fusion of East and West. Meanwhile, artists Ngoc Linh and Thuy Anh drew attention with their modern interpretation of Van Mieu’s architecture—boldly contrasting the historic surroundings. From vibrant oil paintings and delicate watercolors to soft silk strokes, every piece contributes to a colorful mosaic that complements the cultural and architectural heritage of Van Mieu. With its theme “Colorful Village of Arts,” Hanoi Art Fair has successfully awakened a quiet heritage site, turning it into a dynamic, living gallery. The event remains open to visitors through March 31, offering a must-see experience for art lovers and anyone eager to explore traditional culture in a fresh, engaging way./.
