Literature
Vietnamese artist Ho Huu Thu studied and graduated from the National Arts College of Saigon in 1964. Among the founders of the Youth Artist’s Association (1966), Thu is well respected for his importance and influence on Vietnamese contemporary arts. His most recognisable works are his paintings of, often, nude female figures. He has had several exhibitions, and many international collectors seek his works.
Sisters’ Talk was purchased in 2014 from the Spring Collection by Father & Son, an exhibition of works by Ho Huu Thu and his son Ho Hong Linh. Painted by Ho Huu Thu in 2013, Sisters’ Talk shows two women; their dress appears luminescent and has details suggestive of corals, stone or wood cracks, moss, or feathers. Those same details are replicated on what might be birds on the right side of the painting as well as the surface beneath the women. Ho Huu Thu creates a mystical image that invites us to imagine where these women might be. With their hair flowing horizontally, perhaps these women are sitting at a shoreside on a windy night.
姐妹谈话 购于 2014 年父子春季收藏,何友秋父子何鸿麟的作品展。 Ho Huu Thu 于 2013 年创 作的《姐妹谈话》展示了两个女人; 他们的衣服看起来会发光,并且有珊瑚、石头或木头裂缝、 苔藓或羽毛的细节。 这些相同的细节被复制在绘画右侧可能是鸟类的地方以及女性下方的表面 上。 Ho Huu Thu 创造了一个神秘的形象,让我们想象这些女性可能在哪里。 披散着长发,这些 女人或许正坐在风大的夜晚的岸边。
