About this artwork
A luminous, textured face emerges from a deep indigo-black void, rendered in a rich palette of ochre, amber, and burnt orange that recalls the layered depth of traditional Vietnamese lacquer painting. Though executed as a monoprint, the surface carries the same mottled, eggshell-like fragmentation and glowing translucency characteristic of lacquer - built up through mineral pigments pressed and lifted rather than brushed. The interplay of matte darkness… and radiant, resin-like warmth gives the print an unexpected material weight - a fluid printmaking technique masquerading as the slow, laborious buildup of lacquer on wood.
Born into a Vietnamese artistic lineage, Thuy Nguyen engages with mono prints, polygonal paintings, and ceramics. Utilizing an abstract approach, she combines intense pigmentation with intricate geometric forms, traversing both the traditional canvas and the digital realm to stage her exploration. Her work, a kaleidoscopic fusion of shapes and colors, pulses with the complexities of human identity and the quest for harmony with the natural world. Through her polygonal portraits, she reveals a riveting chronicle of emotions, reflecting the enduring spirit encapsulated in our continually evolving selves.
