Mandarin Oriental, Washington DC in association with Galerie Brigitte, presents an exclusive exhibit of contemporary watercolor on silk paintings, “Silk Scroll Watercolors – Flowing Expressions,” featuring Vietnamese artist, Vu Tuan’s fascination with the allure and mystery of female beauty.
“Silk Scroll Watercolors – Flowing Expressions” illustrates the romance and sensuality of young maidens through a mix of bright and lively colors and touches of gold and silver mediums. Tuan’s use of intricate lines reveals a mysterious and fantasy-like fascination of natural forms. Several of the pieces on display include Mid Summer Night, watercolor on silk; Sapa Lovers Market, watercolor on silk; and Summer Lotus, watercolor on silk, and range in price from USD 1,700 to USD 2,500.
