Made up of 41 paintings created by 36 young illustrators, this exhibition of the best culinary drawings promises to take visitors on an exciting, unique culinary journey through the prism of illustration.
The artists present not only drawings but also a story related to food. "I was born into a pure farming family. My whole childhood was spent following my mother to the rice fields to work. I know that for a farmer to have a bowl of white rice, he has to go through many stages of sowing, plowing, and harvesting... So every time I hold a bowl of white rice, I feel the sweetest of all these hardships. For me, rice is the best food!" Young artist Kieu Nhu Trang (25, Hanoi) explains her painting Rice.
The exhibition runs until July 16 at the Ho Guom Information and Culture Center, No.2 Le Thai To Street, Hanoi.
