After a period of incubation, painter Vu Thai Binh – a familiar name associated with the art of watercolor painting on traditional do paper, opened “Do space” at 51 Hoang Ngan (Nhan Chinh), Thanh Xuan, Hanoi) to welcome the art-loving public.
“Do space” as the name implied is a place that completely belongs to do. That is the result, the reunion of painter Vu Thai Binh and friends with the same idea. A Doctor of Science, lecturer at Coventry University (UK) spent 2 years traveling to 70 countries around the world. He travels a lot and always continues his journey of discovery.
Architect Doan Van Tuan, who designed and directed the construction of the architecture and construction works, simply said: “I have simply done one thing, which is to feel and turn the reality of Vu Thai Binh’s painting into my architectural dream.”
Regarding the idea of implementing “Do Space “, painter Vu Thai Binh shared: “I want to send a catalyst of the idea of a place to art lovers, of a peaceful place to those who visit. Amid life still full of chaos and anxiety, especially during the current pandemic period, the journey of living in peace – staying in one’s own life is what many people aim for.”
