The Evocative World
“Cân Bằng Hỗn Loạn”
---------------------------------
Artwork by Tạ Duy Tùng
"Cân Bằng Hỗn Loạn" is a compelling artwork that measures 40x40cm, rendered in stark black and white acrylics on canvas. The painting captures the essence of randomness, with brushstrokes varying in intensity and direction, each guided by the spontaneous rhythm of the body at a specific moment.
Despite the apparent disarray, every stroke is a deliberate act towards achieving balance. The piece embodies a profound contrast in concepts: it presents a form that appears chaotic, yet harbors an intrinsic equilibrium within.
This duality invites the viewer to ponder the complex interplay between order and disorder, both in the artwork and in life itself.
“Đôi Mắt Đích Thực”
---------------------------------
Artwork by Tạ Duy Tùng
"Đôi Mắt Đích Thực" is an intriguing artwork that spans 35x46cm, utilizing acrylic and spray paint on canvas to create a visual narrative.
The artist, who has long practiced the fundamentals of art through imagery, symbolism, and meaning, experienced a transformative moment when experimenting with Chinese calligraphy.
This exploration into the rhythmic flow of brush and line evolved the artist's language into one that resonates more closely with the natural essence.
By integrating minimal imagery, a new perspective and approach to art emerged, one that captures the authentic gaze and invites viewers to look beyond the surface, to the true spirit captured within the strokes.
“Đối Thoại”
---------------------------------
Artwork by Tạ Duy Tùng
"Đối Thoại" is an abstract artwork measuring 40x50cm, created with acrylic and spray paint on canvas. At first glance, the brushstrokes may seem erratic and without order, but they are a deliberate exploration of the complex layers of communication that exist within us.
The painting poses a question: can we ever be truly certain that we communicate with the deeper parts of ourselves in the same way we communicate with each other? It suggests that there are distinct languages for different dimensions of our being, and through this piece, the artist invites us to a dialogue not only with the art but with the unspoken parts of ourselves.
The work is a visual representation of the internal conversations that shape our perception and understanding of the world.
“Sự Tồn Tại Của Ý Chí”
---------------------------------
Artwork by Tạ Duy Tùng
"Sự Tồn Tại Của Ý Chí" is a profound oil painting on canvas, measuring 40x50cm, that delves into the spiritual notions of enduring simultaneous hardships without a clear path forward.
The self-portrait features a face half-revealed and half-obscured, symbolizing the abandonment by even those elements once thought intrinsic to oneself amidst adversity. The open eye represents the small yet persistent will that remains, while the hand holding a candle signifies the flickering and fragile hope.
This artwork encapsulates the essence of perseverance; it suggests that when the remnants of will meet the glimmer of hope, a path becomes illuminated, guiding one through the darkness of challenges towards the light of resolution.
The painting stands as a beacon of resilience, urging the viewer to recognize and embrace the enduring spirit within.
