The Hue Monuments Conservation Center organized the exhibition "Fine Arts & Heritage: Images of the Four Sacred Animals through visual arts " at Kien Trung Palace (Hue Imperial City), attracting the participation of many people and tourists.
The exhibition is the fourth thematic activity in the series of cooperation between the University of Arts, Hue University and the Hue Monuments Conservation Center. This is not only an art event, but also an opportunity to introduce, research and disseminate traditional cultural heritage values through the creative lens of contemporary art.
According to the Hue Monuments Conservation Center, in Oriental aesthetics, the image of the Four Sacred Animals - Dragon, Unicorn, Turtle, and Phoenix has symbolic meaning, associated with philosophical, religious, and social concepts. Not simply fictional mascots, the Four Sacred Animals represent the core elements of the universe, expressing the desire for peace, prosperity, and harmony between humans and nature.
In the Hue royal cultural heritage, the Four Sacred Animals are a familiar image but rich and varied in expression, from architectural decoration - sculpture related to traditional crafts such as masonry, enamel, pottery, bronze casting, inlay, wood carving, lacquer, embroidery, weaving...
This exhibition brings together many works by artists, lecturers and students, created in the spirit of inheriting tradition, while expanding the ability to express through contemporary visual language.
The work "Watching the Moon" by author Le Ba Cang.
The work Long Van Khanh Hoi by author Nguyen Anh Duong.
The work "The Dynasty of Vong" by author Nguyen Khac Tai.
Visitors were fascinated by the works of art.
The images of the Four Sacred Animals are expressed in many new materials and forms: painting, graphics, sculpture... The expressiveness, symbolism and cultural identity of the Four Sacred Animals are opened up and renewed in the interaction between art and heritage.
The cooperation between an art research and training unit and a heritage conservation agency has shown positive effects in spreading love for traditional culture, while affirming the role of art in the preservation and promotion of heritage.
The exhibition is not only a display space, but also a forum for academic exchange, a meeting place between heritage managers, artists, researchers and art lovers.
The Hue Monuments Conservation Center introduces the exhibition as an effort to continue the journey of preserving and "recreating" heritage through art, contributing to enriching contemporary cultural life and arousing pride in national origin in each person.
