The exhibition “From Home to the Park” marks the emotional return of artist Dương Thùy Dương to Vietnam after two years of collaboration with Mơ Art Space. This exhibition is not just an artistic event but also a journey inviting art lovers to step into the inner world of a talented artist, where identity, emotions, and profound soulfulness are expressed through every brushstroke.
A 15-Year Journey: From Sketches to Oil Paintings
“From Home to the Park” takes viewers on a creative journey that spans from 2009 to 2024:
- Pencil and watercolor sketches: Early self-reflective works that sparked her creative inspiration.
- Oil paintings: The culmination of vibrant colors, where emotional nuances ascend to artistic heights.
The works are arranged meticulously, akin to train carriages transporting viewers through the artist’s creative space. Each frame is like an open window, inviting the audience into a world of vivid colors, intricate lines, and profound ideas.
Dương Thùy Dương’s Unique Artistic Style
Dương Thùy Dương draws influence from surrealism and abstraction, yet every piece carries her unmistakable personal touch:
- Evocative strokes: Like cold violin notes resonating in a silent night.
- Faceless portraits: Evoking ambiguity while reflecting deep contemplations on identity and self.
- Frames and colors: Layered and intertwined, blending chaos and tranquility seamlessly.
Dương doesn’t anchor her viewers to a fixed interpretation but instead creates a “park of solace” for the soul—where emotions are free to emerge and be explored.
Colors: The Dance of the Soul
To Dương, colors are not merely visual elements but a sophisticated language to convey emotions:
- Intrinsic color qualities: Each shade represents an independent realm of the soul, evoking psychological traits and depth.
- Inspired by Die Temperamentenrose: Colors symbolize personality traits, reflecting emotional and psychological states.
- Structured color compositions: Carefully calculated combinations create a harmonious symphony.
For Dương, colors resonate deeply, with each hue narrating its story—from wistful longing to comforting solace.
Artist Dương Thùy Dương: From Hanoi to Berlin
Born in 1979 in Hanoi, Dương Thùy Dương now resides and works in Berlin, Germany. Her artistic journey reflects the intersection of two cultures:
- Hanoi: The root of traditional beauty and history.
- Berlin: A city of creativity, modernity, and freedom.
Her works reveal perspectives on identity and cultural transition, blending life from two distinct worlds into every brushstroke.
The solo exhibition “From Home to the Park” is not only a 15-year artistic journey of Dương Thùy Dương but also a space where the public can find solace and emotional resonance through every brushstroke. It is a rare opportunity to experience top-tier art while exploring the intersection of culture, identity, and profound inner depths.
Come and immerse yourself in the poetic art space of Mơ Art Space—a sanctuary for the soul through the lens of art.
