A panel painting traces the family connections of artist Hoang Anh.

THUA THIEN - HUE  (VNS) — A message of kinship and love called Connection is now on display at an exhibition in Hue City.

The exhibition features 31 portraits exposed on four broad oil canvas paintings.

Artist Hoang Anh, 33, said the portraits signify the connection that every person has, through marriage, family and friendship. He said he wants to convey the importance of maintaining all the connections of love that a person has with other persons.

Anh, born in the central province of Quang Tri, graduated from the Hue University of Arts in 2005. He spent almost a year working on the paintings at the New Space Art Foundation in Hue.

The exhibition will remain open at 15 Le Loi Street, Hue City until June 23. Admission is free. — VNS
