Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This vibrant abstract painting features a harmonious blend of soft pastel hues, including lavender, blue, and hints of yellow. The composition is characterized by a playful, almost whimsical arrangement of organic shapes and gestural brushstrokes that create a sense of movement and energy across the canvas. While no recognizable subject matter is depicted, the artwork evokes a lighthearted and joyful mood through its expressive, almost childlike aesthetic. The artist's technique, which appears to involve a combination of layering and spontaneous mark-making, contributes to the piece's visually engaging and dynamic quality, reflecting a contemporary, experimental approach to abstract painting. ...

Artist
Tran Van Thao
B.1961, Vietnamese

“When we close our eyes, we see shadows of the infinite, disorientation, profound depth… not just the literal meaning of shadows. And when we open our eyes, we see many things: sun and wind, air, objects, people… This ‘eye-opening’ moment could be at any time, in any mood, can ‘catch’ any subject, can recall any atmosphere.” Tran Van Thao (b. 1961, Saigon), one of Vietnam’s foremost abstract painters, is recognized for his individual markings, rich colour fields and compositions that convey a sense of harmony and balance through a contemplative atmosphere that invites introspection and mindfulness. For Tran, inspiration comes from the humble yet dynamic experience of everyday life, as well as the immediacy of his surroundings. Tran’s work can be raw with primitivist markings or rich with color fields.  Veils of oil paint, scumbled areas of depth, papier-mâché, collage and brazen linear shapes are all basic ingredients of his stylistic repertoire. ...
