HANOI, Vietnam, Aug. 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Vietnamese art installation "Borderline" has
become the first Southeast Asian artwork to be acquired by the
esteemed Guimet Museum in Paris. Since April
2019, this exclusive collaboration between designer
Yen Khe and the Haute-lacquer brand
Hanoia has been a part of Guimet's collection - the most extensive
selection of Asian art outside of Asia.
Over the last century, the Guimet Museum has been continually
developing its collection to offer visitors a comprehensive view of
Asian art history and civilization. The museum has over 50,000
objects on display in a 55,000-square-meter area.
Yen Khe is an internationally
recognized actress having starred in many movies directed by the
award-winner Tran Anh Hung.
Throughout her career, she has combined interior architecture and
design with her passion for films and has created numerous
cinematic designs featuring innovative aesthetics.
"Borderline" is a future-oriented Asian art piece. Like lines in
a poem, the artwork's design creates an imaginary world using
contemporary design to explore Vietnam's traditional culture. On the spire of
a non la, a traditional Vietnamese hat, runs a floral motif
that blends into the lacquer background, behind which the barbed
wire fence is shown with gold leaves. The vivid red and orange
colours recall the secular architectural heritage of pagodas while
displaying the effervescence of Vietnamese society.
Prior to "Borderline", Hanoia has notably worked as the designer
and manufacturer of timeless art pieces such as the vintage
egg-shelled Vespa in celebrations of Vespa 70th
anniversary; or the special gift from Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc to former French President
François Hollande during his official visit to Vietnam.
