An exhibition on Vietnam’s urban drawn by Dutch painter Wessel Huisman will be showcased in Hanoi from November 21 to December 5.

The exhibition, entitled “City Sculpture and the Human Measure”, features some twenty-five black and white paintings showing the (rapidly changing) environment of Vietnam and the presence of man within this, said the Netherlands Embassy in Hanoi.

Those paintings are based on photos of city views and street images taken by the Dutch painter during his earlier travel throughout the country and the use of light in these paintings is characteristic of his work.

The exhibition forms part of a project financed by the Culture and Development programme of the Netherlands and organised with the cooperation from two well-known Fine Arts Universities in Vietnam.

Previously, Huisman’s paintings have been on display in Ho Chi Minh City for the last two weeks.
