Burdening Dream
A question quietly appeared in Tia-Thuy Nguyen’s mind: “Perhaps I have forced myself to become what I wanted without knowing that I had to carry that dream? Or perhaps my dream of clouds is weighing me down and I cannot fly?”
This exhibition is an affirmation of Tia-Thuy Nguyen’s inner strength, her ability to carry the sky.
In modern times and in a romantic context, clouds evoke a sense of freedom. They are always changing, changing shape, changing color according to light, according to season, and according to time and space. Clouds play a harmonious melody with other natural elements - they accept the very influences that change them. They are still the silhouettes of clouds, but the state of stormy or peaceful sunshine comes from the heart of each viewer standing in front of the work. For these reasons, the sky in the exhibition "Burdening Dream" is like a mantra of the future, a bright prospect.
Tension so intense (Căng thẳng mãnh liệt) (2024) in which a vibrant sky is streaked with clouds that billow as moments of multicolour.
The yellow of the atmosphere gives way to a mist of the warmest orange, which in turn rubs up against fresh tones of minty green and azure blue. The paper responds to the wetness of the paint with its own gentle movement, rising to kiss the watery pigment, and as it does, the stones of quartz and cullet glint and sparkle in acknowledgment.
