Show hits Australian gallery with a bang
An art exhibition on the American War in Viet Nam, Nam Bang, has opened at Casulapower House Arts Centre in Sydney, Australia, and will run through June 21.
The international exhibition will feature 25 artists from the US, Australia, France, Germany, Canada, Japan, South Korea and Viet Nam, many of them are veterans.
About 50 works from diverse genres such as painting, sculpture, installation art, videos and performance art are on display.
Le Tri Dung, the only Vietnamese painter featured at the exhibition, has two acrylic paintings on display.
The first, Noi Dau Cua Nguoi Linh Ca Hai Chien Tuyen (Suffering of Soldiers on Both Fronts), shows two helmets of soldiers on opposite sides with a ragged banana leaf separating them.
The second painting, Me (Mother), shows a mother holding an image of her son who was killed in the war. Millions of other martyrs are shown behind her.
The exhibition hopes to convey a message of peace and the cost of war.
