NGUYEN MINH PHUOC

Morning Calm

Heading to the Temple

Evening Glow

Nguyen Minh Phuoc, born in 1976, graduated from the Hanoi Fine Arts College (former College des Beaux Arts d’IndoChine) in 1998 and has quickly established himself as one of the leading artists of the younger generation of Vietnamese contemporary artists. While Phuoc paints other subjects, his specialty is painting Monks, inspired by the Buddhist culture and Buddhist’s beliefs.

Each painting does exude a sense of purposes. Usually seen from the back, either alone or in small groups, Phuoc’s monks radiate energy, robes swirling as they step forward toward destiny, providing a delightful contrast with the tranquility of the subject matter and his technically excellent brushwork. Through his color compositions and spatial relationships, Phuoc creates a sense of serenity, of belonging, an insight into maybe a less material world that will undoubtedly endure "Moving Moments" features some of Nguyen Minh Phuoc’s finest works.

798

798-1 Tapat22

Encontramos en Beijing un barrio (o distrito) representativo o simbólico de lo que es el arte en la ciudad, 798. Aunque se tratase de una zona industrial dineñada por la Alemania del Este con ayuda de la URSS, hoy, pasar de caminar por Tiannamen a hacerlo por 798 (por sus calles, sus galerías y con sus esculturas alrededor), es pasar del “control” a la libertad. Que haya propuestas más o menos interesantes ya depende de cada uno y de sus inquietudes, pero la sensacion de sentirte en un lugar aespacial es ya de por si reconfortante.

Además existe la posiblidad de interactuar con el “arte” como podemos observar, y siempre es de agradecer. El arte inerte pierde sentido si lo puedes completar con tu presencia. www.798art.org/

EL ALAMBRISTA Y LOS SUEÑOS

When art is not related to money or galleries. When beauty is just a man walking. When life is full of dreams. And when some people can fulfill their dreams. Then still there is hope.
