Todd Huynh shared a set of illustrations that now are part of the collection for the SỢI MẮC SỢI MÀNH exhibition. The collection consists of 12 paintings inspired by the beauty of Vietnamese cultural architecture. Vietnam is a country with 54 ethnic groups, therefore, this is also the land for many unique cultures, and one of the features of those cultures is the architecture. With this collection of paintings, I want to celebrate the beauty of that architectural heritage by putting them in surrealistic space.
Within this space, the ancient mouth-by-mouth folklores are formed, the distinctive cultural characteristics of those legacies are clearly revealed through the images of sky, clouds, rivers, seas, ... They bear a shared story, telling us about the colorful beauty of my home country, Vietnam.
