About the Item

‘Flying’ is a large figurative oil on canvas painting of square format created by Vietnamese artist Nguyen Quang Huy in 2012. Featuring a cold palette made of blue, white and grey tones, the painting draws us in with its dreamlike quality tinted with a melancholic touch. The deep blue background is the perfect setting to highlight the ethereal presence of a female nude angel figure. Facing us directly, her face symbolized by a large mouth, she extends her wings backwards as if ready to take off while we are left to admire her perfect breasts. We are the direct witnesses of a dream state. With its nice proportions and cold palette, this unframed square format oil on canvas figurative painting, signed lower right, will bring a mysterious presence to any home, perhaps placed above a bed, sofa or console table. 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.
