“A Window on Vietnam” exhibition is opened
An exhibition titled “A Window on Vietnam” is being opened in Ho Chi Minh City and has run from Novomber 4 to 19.
The 61-year-old artist from Leeds is displaying the best Vietnamese window works she has painted in the last two years. Bridget told that she hoped her pictures will help people realize how much the windows and doors “contribute” to make the streets distinctly Vietnamese.
To her, windows and doors are what make streets everywhere distinctly different. One of the interesting things Bridget enjoys about painting Vietnamese windows is that a single window frame can sometimes be a combination of different cultures from different countries.
For example, it could be a Chinese-style patterned windows with the French-style air vents, or a Vietnamese window next to an American chain fence, something she said could be found nowhere but Vietnam.
Having lived in Vietnam for more than three years, Bridget always spends time on travelling and paintings. Sometimes she would spend a few months in the central tourism city of Hoi An, or visiting Hanoi or just wandering around Saigon for inspiration.
Every time she finds something to paint, the artist always tries to sketch and “catch” the atmosphere of the object before bringing the painting home and finish. Besides, she also puts effort in studying historical and cultural values behinds her objects of painting, from people to architectural works.
