100 YEARS – A CENTURY OF COLORS, HERITAGE, AND CREATIVE ASPIRATION
In 1925, the Indochina College of Fine Arts was founded, marking the beginning of the modern era of Vietnamese art.
A hundred years have passed, yet that legacy continues to be written by new generations of artists — each carrying within them the unending desire to create and innovate.
As part of the celebration marking the 100th anniversary of the Indochina College of Fine Arts – Vietnam University of Fine Arts, Nguyen Art Gallery (NAG) is honored to accompany the exhibition “100+”, featuring the most outstanding works from students of the Painting Faculty.
For Nguyen Art, this is not only a symbolic milestone but also a meaningful moment that bridges a century of Vietnamese artistic heritage with the contemporary creative spirit — where tradition is inherited and innovation continues to flourish.
“100+” – more than just a number, it represents the “plus” of future generations — a symbol of faith in youth, and in the ever-growing vitality of Vietnamese creativity on the global stage.
Three traditional materials — Oil, Lacquer, and Silk — are once again brought to life by the students of the Painting Faculty, expressed with a renewed spirit of freedom, emotion, and openness.
✨ As a Silver Sponsor of the exhibition, Nguyen Art Gallery is proud to serve as a bridge between academic fine arts and contemporary life — contributing to the promotion of the truth, goodness, and beauty that define Vietnamese painting, bringing them closer to art lovers both at home and abroad.
THE PRESENCE OF NGUYEN ART GALLERY IN THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION
At the exhibition’s opening ceremony, the Board of Directors of Nguyen Art Gallery was honored to attend alongside university leaders, faculty members, artists, and students from different generations.
The event marks a symbolic connection between Vietnam’s classical art education and the contemporary creative practices that NAG continues to pursue.
The Nguyen Art Gallery Board of Directors, together with Artist – Doctor Trieu Khac Tien, attended the opening ceremony and shared their admiration for the outstanding works created by students in the three disciplines: Oil Painting, Lacquer, and Silk Painting.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu Ha, Gallery Owner, viewed and appreciated the artworks on the exhibition’s opening day.
In particular, the Nguyen Art Gallery team participated in the Lacquer Workshop led by Doctor – Artist Trieu Khac Tien, as part of the anniversary program.
This workshop offered Nguyen Art members a close-up experience of the creative process behind this traditional Vietnamese medium — deepening their understanding of its enduring vitality and cultural value.
For Nguyen Art, every collaboration with artists and art institutions is an opportunity to listen, to learn, and to continue spreading the spirit of Vietnamese creativity to the world.
