When looking at the works of artist Pham Binh Chuong, we will admire the most typical street corner of Hanoi . In the space of that painting, the viewer can feel the warmth and enthusiasm of the old town of Hanoi. Meanwhile, artist Pham Minh Duc exploited the theme of Hoi An's alleys through a decisive and strong writing style. Meanwhile, artist Mai Duy Minh's street is full of melancholy, regret and loneliness. With only the theme of the street, but through different writing styles and experiences, the artists have brought... a completely different reality.
