0:00Reverse glass paintings were once common

0:02in southern Vietnamese homes, used for

0:04worship, decoration, and symbols of good

0:07fortune. But over time, the tradition

0:09gradually faded as modern art trends

0:11become more popular. Now, through the

0:13exhibition Nam Sưu Họa Kiếng, or

0:14Southern History Reverse Glass Painting,

0:17that tradition is being brought back

0:19into the spotlight, where old techniques

0:20meet contemporary storytelling, and

0:22younger audiences rediscover a forgotten

0:25piece of Southern heritage.

0:30>> At first [music] glance, Southern glass

0:32paintings stand out for their deep,

0:34vivid colors, bold [music] outlines, and

0:37decorative details.

0:39But what makes this art form even more

0:41distinctive is the way [music] it is

0:43made.

0:45The artist works from the back of the

0:47glass. The finest lines and facial

0:50details are painted first, while larger

0:52color blocks and the background come

0:54later.

0:56At Nam Sưu Họa Kiếng, that technique

0:58[music] becomes the starting point for a

1:00larger journey, where reverse glass

1:03paintings tell the stories of the

1:05Southern region in [music] three

1:07timelines.

1:11>> The Nam Sưu Họa Kiếng exhibition is

1:13divided into three sections: the past,

1:16the present, and the future. The past

1:18section features some of the oldest

1:19glass paintings, while the present

1:21highlights restored Imperial glass

1:23paintings from Huế. The future section

1:26focuses on applied art and contemporary

1:28interpretations of the craft.

1:34>> Now, here in this exhibition, a glass

1:36painting is no longer just something to

1:38frame on the walls. Actually, it's being

1:41translated into something that people

1:43can wear. Now, this dress takes

1:45inspiration from a glass painting

1:47depicting the four gentlemen in East

1:49Asian art. And more importantly, it's

1:51actually created by a young Vietnamese

1:54designer, showing that glass painting is

1:57actually, still a very much rich source

1:59of inspiration for Vietnamese youth

2:01today.

2:02>> I believe that it is one way to inspire

2:04and reconnect younger generations with

2:06the art form through a more accessible

2:08experience where they can see, listen,

2:10and learn. It also helps people better

2:13understand why this tradition of glass

2:14painting deserves to be preserved and

2:16further promoted.

2:18>> By connecting old works with new [music]

2:20interpretations, Nam Sư Họa Kiềng

2:23presents reverse glass painting not as a

2:26closed chapter [music] of the past, but

2:28as a cultural language still capable of

2:31evolving.

2:32The exhibition has already attracted

2:35more than [music] 2,000 local and

2:36international visitors and will remain

2:38open to the public until May [music]

2:4031st.
