A brand new surreal painting by Tran Nguyen was recently unveiled. Created for a group show opening at Jonathan Levine Gallery on August 3rd, the piece shows a giant girl in a blue and white skirt walking with a fox through a small, flooded town. She calls the work “The Flooded Hour.”
The show, called Cluster, will feature new works by the following artists: Amandine Urruty, Anton Vill, Ben Tolman, Charlie Immer, Drew Leshko, Dylan Egon, Gary Mellon, Gary Taxali, Luke O’Sullivan, Marco Mazzoni, Nicomi Nix Turner, Ron English, Sam Gibbons, Smithe One, Tran Nguyen and Troy Coulterman.
Tran Nguyen was born in Vietnam and raised in Los Angeles, California, where she is currently based. Her paintings are created with a soft, delicate quality using colored pencil and acrylic on paper. Nguyen has worked for clients such as Playboy and McDonald’s and her work has been exhibited at galleries in California, New York, Italy and Spain.
This new piece reminds me of some of her older work, where women are seen as much larger than life. I love the mysterious and surreal nature of these.
