Reminiscing an Evening with the Sound of Flute (2019)

- Artist: Nguyễn Phước
- Dimensions: 96 x 123 cm
- Materials: Oil on canvas

- Nguyen Phuoc's paintings are simple with flat spaces, clear colors, not paying attention to the light-shadow technique of classical paintings, but they give off their own natural and strange halos that always have a unique atmosphere, captivating admirers. These elements are evident in the oil painting 'Reminiscing an Evening with the Sound of Flute' drawn in 2019. Close to surrealism, the image of the little girl playing the flute under the bright moonlight lights up a quiet green pond landscape, which gives us a sense of serenity as if immersing in the vast atmosphere and deserted nature. Nguyen Phuoc seems to be living in a quiet, private space with contemplations on human emotions and above all, the harmony between nature and colors, which is always expressed so distinctively clear and transparent which in turns, convey profound rhythms.
