The Sac Mau Hanoi-Sai Gon 2 (Colours of Hanoi-Sai Gon) displays 100 works in acrylic, oil and lacquer, featuring natural landscapes and human life in regions of the country where the artists have travelled. 

Artist Bui Mai Hien, one of six artists from Hanoi, says she is obsessed with traditional materials of lacquer and the richness of colour. The 54-year-old artist's abstract paintings express her feelings about human relationships and the desires of women. 

Hien, a graduate of Hanoi-based Vietnam Fine Arts College, has had several solo and group exhibitions in Vietnam, France, Switzerland, and the US.

The exhibition also features acrylic and oil paintings of Hanoi's artists, including Le Thu, Nguyen Thi Lan Huong, Phan Thi Minh Chau, Nguyen Thi My and Ngo Hai Yen. 

All six artists are members of the Hanoi Fine Arts Association. 

During the exhibition, 10 artists will have a four-day tour around the Cuu Long (Mekong Delta to find inspiration. 

The exhibition runs until Sunday at the HCM City Exhibition Centre at 92 Le Thanh Ton Street in District 1.
