Reverse glass paintings were once common
0:02
in southern Vietnamese homes, used for
0:04
worship, decoration, and symbols of good
0:07
fortune. But over time, the tradition
0:09
gradually faded as modern art trends
0:11
become more popular. Now, through the
0:13
exhibition Nam Sưu Họa Kiếng, or
0:14
Southern History Reverse Glass Painting,
0:17
that tradition is being brought back
0:19
into the spotlight, where old techniques
0:20
meet contemporary storytelling, and
0:22
younger audiences rediscover a forgotten
0:25
piece of Southern heritage.
0:30
>> At first [music] glance, Southern glass
0:32
paintings stand out for their deep,
0:34
vivid colors, bold [music] outlines, and
0:37
decorative details.
0:39
But what makes this art form even more
0:41
distinctive is the way [music] it is
0:43
made.
0:45
The artist works from the back of the
0:47
glass. The finest lines and facial
0:50
details are painted first, while larger
0:52
color blocks and the background come
0:54
later.
0:56
At Nam Sưu Họa Kiếng, that technique
0:58
[music] becomes the starting point for a
1:00
larger journey, where reverse glass
1:03
paintings tell the stories of the
1:05
Southern region in [music] three
1:07
timelines.
1:11
>> The Nam Sưu Họa Kiếng exhibition is
1:13
divided into three sections: the past,
1:16
the present, and the future. The past
1:18
section features some of the oldest
1:19
glass paintings, while the present
1:21
highlights restored Imperial glass
1:23
paintings from Huế. The future section
1:26
focuses on applied art and contemporary
1:28
interpretations of the craft.
1:34
>> Now, here in this exhibition, a glass
1:36
painting is no longer just something to
1:38
frame on the walls. Actually, it's being
1:41
translated into something that people
1:43
can wear. Now, this dress takes
1:45
inspiration from a glass painting
1:47
depicting the four gentlemen in East
1:49
Asian art. And more importantly, it's
1:51
actually created by a young Vietnamese
1:54
designer, showing that glass painting is
1:57
actually, still a very much rich source
1:59
of inspiration for Vietnamese youth
2:01
today.
2:02
>> I believe that it is one way to inspire
2:04
and reconnect younger generations with
2:06
the art form through a more accessible
2:08
experience where they can see, listen,
2:10
and learn. It also helps people better
2:13
understand why this tradition of glass
2:14
painting deserves to be preserved and
2:16
further promoted.
2:18
>> By connecting old works with new [music]
2:20
interpretations, Nam Sư Họa Kiềng
2:23
presents reverse glass painting not as a
2:26
closed chapter [music] of the past, but
2:28
as a cultural language still capable of
2:31
evolving.
2:32
The exhibition has already attracted
2:35
more than [music] 2,000 local and
2:36
international visitors and will remain
2:38
open to the public until May [music]
2:40
31st.
