Painter Pham An Hai from the organising board said paintings on display
spotlight the pig – the zodiac sign of 2019 in the lunar calendar.
This year’s exhibition records increases in the number of participating
painters and their exhibits compared to last year, he said.
The works’ sizes range under 80x100 cm, making them suitable for art-lovers who
cannot afford big paintings.
On the occasion, a conference on paintings in celebration of the lunar New Year
is scheduled to take place with the participation of popular names like
researcher Phan Cam Thuong and painter Pham An Hai.
