Nguyen Quang Huy'Dreaming', Large Abstract Monochromatic Nude Angel Painting2008
2008
About the Item
‘Dreaming’ is a large abstract expressionist oil on canvas painting created by Vietnamese artist Nguyen Quang Huy in 2008. Featuring a cold palette mostly made of blue and grey colors accentuated with white touches, the painting exudes a dreamlike quality. The soft blue background, made of horizontal strokes contrasted by the dripping effect of the left side, is the perfect setting to highlight the ethereal presence of a standing angel, whose head is symbolized by a large mouth. Extending its wings forward, we are seeing the angel figure in profile, allowing us to discover the nudity of its body. We are indeed the witnesses of a dream state. With its large proportions and soft colors, this unframed abstract expressionist oil on canvas painting of square format will bring a subtle touch to any home, particularly placed above a bed, sofa or credenza.
Nguyen Quang Huy was born in Ha Tay, Vietnam in 1971 and studied at the Hanoi Fine Arts University as well as participating in residencies in Germany, Australia and the USA. Many of his abstract expressionist paintings reflect the misty dreamlike coolness of the mountains, cultural aspects and the beauty of the female form. Huy has staged solo exhibitions in Vietnam, Germany, France, and Singapore, and participated in several exhibitions internationally, including group shows in Singapore, Germany, France, Japan, USA, Finland, Thailand, Australia, the Netherlands, and United Kingdom. His works are included in the permanent collection of the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum, Japan and the World Bank Art Program, USA.

- 'Land of the Sleepwalker 05', Cubist Painting with Golds, Pinks, Blacks & BluesBy Nguyen The HungLocated in Rye, NY‘Land of the Sleepwalker 05’ is a large horizontal contemporary lacquer on wood panel “abstract figurative” painting created by Vietnamese artist Nguyen The Hung in 2017. Featuring a palette made of a variety of colors such as brown, red, black, yellow, blue and green accentuated with gold leaf, the painting presents a format that has a faux-air of Guernica revised by Miró. Painted on a dotted ground, two characters walk among a variety of creatures. We are in the land of the sleepwalker after all… Curves are perfectly balanced by straight lines; light browns oppose themselves to blacks and petite fluffy clouds seem to be falling on the ground. Colorful wandering clouds in Hung’s works are inspired by traditional cloud ornaments from Vietnam’s ancient citadels and temples. Those ancient ornaments act like a negative version of clouds wandering throughout the space of the pieces. They link together to create a limbo world, where matters become vague and surreal. Another level lies underneath, hiding deep below the clouds the artist has created realms of consciousness and thoughts. Hung, joyful and relaxed, plays around with his dots. Silver dots, golden dots, together they light up the atmosphere to create a passive aura. Ornamental clouds, or simply just dots, they move from one shape to another, unsettled trying to find a logical order for themselves to fit in therefore challenging viewers’ senses. The order of signs creates spaces of uncertainties and invalidities, where the artist’s stories would be tied together and unfold. Silently, the artist submerges himself into an imaginative valley with no boundaries of shapes, strokes, and of random visual connections. The dreamy artist tries to hold on to his childhood memories, from straw scarecrows, late afternoon birds, handmade kites, boys looking after horses in mountain...Category

- 'Autumn Clouds No. 1'By Nguyen The HungLocated in Rye, NY‘Autumn Clouds No1’ is a large “abstract figurative” contemporary lacquer on wood panel painting of vertical format, created by Vietnamese artist Nguyen The Hung in 2017. Featuring a palette made of a variety of colors such as black, red, blue and green accentuated with gold leaf, this unframed painting exudes a surrealistic feel that would have made a Joan Miró proud. Painted on a dotted gold, dark green and black ground, a trapezoidal character is facing us. His head, reminiscent of medieval jesters and painted in yellow and red, has a cubist flair. Colorful clouds seem to be falling down the character’s garment and adorn the upper sections of the piece, while scintillating stars accentuate the rest of the composition.
