Peru’s bull art introduced at Hanoi exhibition
VOV.VN - As many as 18 handmade ceramic Pucara bull statues, one of the most specific symbols of traditional Peruvian pottery, have been put on display at an exhibition which is getting underway in Hanoi.
The exhibition, which opened on September 19, is part of activities to mark 29 years of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and Peru.
It is taking place as part of a cultural promotion project initiated by the Peruvian Foreign Ministry entitled "Torito de Pucará: Ambassador of the Peruvian Highlands".
At the exhibition, local artists Le Huy and Tran Anh Tuan are also introducing their versions of toritos by using the techniques of traditional Vietnamese painting.
Addressing the opening ceremony, Peru’s Ambassador to Vietnam Augusto Morelli Salgado shared that the bull art works by two talented artists Le Huy and Tran Anh Tuan are strongly symbolic of the ties between the two countries.
““The Embassy is honored to add some of their works to the national collection titled "Pucará Bull Around the World", which will be exhibited around the world,” the Ambassador noted.
Within the framework of the exhibition, a free public torito painting session called “Make your own amule” will also be held on September 23 - 24.
