POGUBIONE MARZENIA Station of Art Gallery

3/21/2024

Station of Art gallery

Wystawa POGUBIONE MARZENIA jest wynikiem współpracy z poetką Marzeną Ewą Krajewską, ale też wspólnych, dotykających nas tematów. Świat kobiety, zmagania się z rzeczywistością, podróże, rozmyślania o życiu i emocje towarzyszące zwykłym - niezwykłym wydarzeniom są myślą przewodnią obu nam bliską.
Znaczną część prezentowanych prac stanowią ilustracje do poezji Marzeny Ewy Krajewskiej. Większość prac powstała do polsko-słowackiego tomiku ‘Pogubione marzenia’, kilka pochodzi z kolejnego poetyckiego zbioru, którego dwujęzyczne, tym razem polsko-słoweńskie wydanie, planowane jest w najbliższym czasie w Słowenii.
Pozostałe - obrazy na płótnach - to prace, których tematyka jest spójna z emocjami i tematami, do których zapraszają wiersze. Przewijające się motywy to: kobieta, podróż, komentarz rzeczywistości, sięganie do przeszłości, do korzeni oraz poszukiwanie lekkości i piękna, jako reakcji na trudy dnia codziennego.

WATCHING POLAND AND VIETNAM AT 29 HANG BAI, HANOI
Attracted to watercolor, why not?
Why do I enjoy watching watercolor paintings? I don't understand fine arts and psycho-art. I think, simply possible because of the old Flower Age book covers, with 3 types of red, green, purple flowers for teens and teens by artist Vi Vi watercolor that I think are beautiful. After decades of "liberation" there is no way to paint a book cover with watercolor and offset printing like that anymore. It could be because of the magnificent pano paintings with breath-taking expressions to advertise movies, hanging in theatres of Hung Dao, Tan Tan, All America... but the countryside boy often stops to watch passionately like watching alien wonders. Better, simpler, the elementary school student sitting in the pencil drawing class wishing that he would hurry to middle school to study drawing with Ms. Huong Co Mai at Huong Thuy High School, so that his mother bought for him a box of watercolor cauliflower, with tiny tubes of color squeezed out and transformed this color from the other to another color. The child in the past was only like that, then he dived into the fever, don't know when, or simply like a lost cultural haze.
Reunion of colors
I keep thinking about those "whys" when I come to see the watercolor exhibition Color Reunion 2 opening last afternoon at 29 Hang Bai. "Reunion" here are 108 Vietnamese and Polish artists attending the exhibition (including 50 Polish artists). “Colors” here are 169 watercolor paintings and a few sculptures by over 150 artists from two countries in attendance.
Up close, close and direct
The nostalgic feeling of being a child is totally rational. When there were pictures that were "real painted" of the old days when humans did not invent cameras. It's artists' preference for the technical style, but it could also be their desire to overcome the challenge, as people still play cards with computers to win them. I keep looking back at “Stone” (watercolor on paper, by Stanislaw Zoladz) and still wonder how elusive watercolor can depict such an surreal landscape. Proximity and familiar yet old fashioned artistic inspiration with clouds wind moon flowers snow mountains rivers. But very close, because here the natural or natural landscape are directly reflective and perceptive images, attached to the homeland, the family, with the survival space, the love of people, animals. From intimacy to honesty but also very lively and inspiring in Le Thanh Ha (Hometown is sweet star fruit; Lucky-squid; Na season), in Duong Thu Nga (Melody of flowers; Grandmother's door frame), to the level of sublime in Huynh Bao (Stable), Bui Duy Khanh (Waiting).
Uncovered thuy wear
Both Vietnamese and Polish artists are interested in grape ink style (Mai Le's brave soul; assistant main singer of Le Ngoc Quynh). Turkish style dressed in black and white or sublime colors with the Atlantic near Ressos-Guirec, France by Barttomiej Michalowski; with At a Place by Magdalena Brauze; with Jacek Kwiatkowski's Iceland-Ice; with Hanoi after sunset, Hanoi Tran Quoc Toan street and Ba Trieu street of Minh Dam; with the afternoon beach of Dinh Duc...
Inspiration "abstract"
Not only the feelings of homeland, everyday, with the rusticity of the public soul, artists also express inspiration with contemplation, inner self. There is no such thing as this. Is In the Garden of Zajac-Slapnicar; Salvation may be found in the stillness of Daria Romek; or in the Gates, The gaps left of Pham Minh Tuan; in the Ophelia of the Millionaires' Nest...
Why Poland ?
I'm looking forward to seeing the movie this time partly because of the name Poland. A country that suffered in world wars. A paralyzed country actively stands up to decide its own destiny, actively contributing to redraw the modern geopolitical map. A country that supports Vietnam and Vietnamese people. The artist of this country used to come to Vietnam in the 1950s to illustrate about the joys and sorrows of the Vietnamese people.
Honey, Poland, the snow is melting
Aries road with white fog and sunshine
Many generations in Vietnam have not forgotten the poem of To Huu. And over the years they watched the snow melt until the day of white fog filled with sunshine. For Poland today is growing strong into a land of scenic beauty, economic prosperity, human progress, humanitarian region and humanity. Snow White, Aries in watercolor paintings by Polish painters exhibited at this exhibition, therefore, provoke many special thoughts. The beauty of Vietnam - Poland in the very center of Hanoi in the context of war in Europe is also a call for cultural empathy for a peaceful and progressive world.
Cultural exchange, cultural diplomacy, foreign citizens
This two-time Excellent Exhibition, I think, is a big event (Exhibition is open until 13/10/2023). Organized by a not-big unit: Hanoi Watercolor Painters Club. This is an organization that just reached a year old. Mobilized by a joint force of both countries. How to organize a modern exhibition, have QR code for viewers to have more necessary information. The way to select exhibition content and art style that is public, in accordance with community psychology is also a successful choice. Attracting the public to art is a great success to create a national soul step by step, until the national soul will decide the fate of the nation. Bottom determines the top. Over the years we have only paid attention to luxury art, the art of the essence, expressed in artistic language and speaking far from the masses. Essence art is necessary, but if only it's how different from Vietnamese TV shows we talk about us or sing to each other. Bottom decides top. Not caring enough for the bottom will somehow create a national soul, and will overthrow the elite as it has ever been in history.
At the exhibition, the number of visitors to the exhibition was so crowded that it was difficult to take a brief picture. Obviously this is the result of the great, extraordinary effort of the organizing team, which is the success with the masses. This is also an extracultural trend, promoting the soft power of the country, a trend that needs to be implemented more and better. This is also a sharp nose of cultural diplomacy, promotion media, foreign to the people. Unfortunately, in addition to the two sponsor units which are the Embassy of the Polish Republic in Hanoi and the Vietnamese Art Society, we see the absence of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Information and Communication, the Federation of Vietnamese Friendship Associations / Friendship Associations Vietnam-Poland with indirect units. /.
