An exhibition in HCM City now showcases 25 artworks, mostly large-scale abstract oil paintings, by the late artist Lâm Huỳnh Long (also known as Nguyễn Lâm), with central themes focusing on his perspective on the world and his depiction of young women.
The exhibition aimed to introduce and honour the works of the late artist Nguyễn Lâm through private collections at Huyền Art House in HCM City.
Edwin Leow, a Singaporean collector of the artist’s works, said he first saw Nguyễn Lâm’s abstract paintings in 2015 and was captivated by them ever since.
He mentioned that Lâm’s works have brought him new emotions and experiences over the years.
Born in 1941, Nguyễn Lâm was an active artist for over 60 years, creating more than 1,000 artworks, primarily in lacquer and oil paintings.
He is also well known for his significant contributions to the development of lacquer painting in Southern Việt Nam.
His works are part of the collections at the Việt Nam Fine Arts Museum, the National Gallery Singapore and the HCM City Fine Arts Museum.
Additionally, most of his pieces are owned by private collectors worldwide.
The exhibition lasts until October 13, organised by ArtBlue Gallery Singapore, Huyền Art House, and the artist’s family. — VNS
