Van, who is participating alongside three generations of his family, said, “This exhibition is a special memory for me, a learning opportunity for my child, and a first step into the field for my grandchild. It’s meaningful to see them inspired by the creative community here. In my work illustrating books and newspapers, I’ve come to admire how today’s publishers are so in tune with trends and technology. It challenges us artists to keep evolving.”
The exhibition not only honors Vietnam’s press legacy but also highlights the dynamic intersection of tradition, innovation, and artistic expression in modern publishing.
