The art of painting on silk in Vietnam was founded by famous painter Nguyen Phan Chanh, and has ever since been fostered by a number of modern artists like Ngo Minh Cau, Tran Dong Luong, Nguyen Thu, Vu Giang Huong, Do Phan, and Pham Thanh Liem.

With silk strips stretched on wooden frames, painters paint watercolors on them.

For small sculptures, few sculptors are interested in the works. However, Head of the Department of Fine Arts, Photography and Exhibitions Vi Kien Thanh affirmed that small sculptures would make artists become famous.

The exhibition is expected to further encourage local artists on these artistic genres.
