Lacquer painting exhibition by Le Ngoc Thanh and Le Duc Hai

New York (October 10th, 2005).

IVCE cordially invites you to a lacquer painting exhibition by Le Ngoc Thanh and Le Duc Hai, renowned twin artists from Hue, Vietnam. Thanh & Hai's uniquely modernized usage of a traditional art-form has gained international acclaims in Thailand, Holland, England, and France. We are very excited that Thanh & Hai will also be leading a workshop to demonstrate the art of lacquer painting as well as revealing their own artistic interpretations. In addition, IVCE will also showcase a video on art performance during the exhibition to complement the artwork.

IVCE and our co-sponsors are extremely honored to host Thanh & Hai. We hope that you will join us for this wonderful event. Please refer to the exhibition schedule below for the exhibition nearest you. http://www.ivce.org/event.html
