Japanese artists exhibit installation art in Hanoi
An installation art exhibition by Paramodel, a Japanese group of artists, will be held at the Japan Foundation Center for Cultural Exchange in Hanoi from February 16-March 11.
Paramodel is an art unit formed in 2001 by Hayashi Yasuhiko and Nakano Yusuke. Their title is a manifesto fusing the three English words of Paradise, Paradox and Model. In addition, their Japanese name Puramoderu means toy plastic dioramas.
The artists use combinations of plastic toys and other everyday objects to create blueprints of paradise, while stressing life’s paradoxes.
Their artworks range from large installations covering whole exhibition rooms to small sculptures, photographs, paintings, video, and other types of media. They are fun, popular and eye-catching works which bring visitors back to their childhood.
The two artists will have an exchange programme with Vietnamese artists and art lovers at the Vietnam Academy of Fine Arts on February 17.
