Quang Tran
Tran’s works are characterized by a fascination with oil paint and a focus on exploring the full potential of the medium and two-dimensional art. He primarily works in parallel in two different modes: representational and non-representational. His goal is to develop a distinct visual language, as working with representational motifs allows him to deepen his ability to depict the human form, while working with non-representational, abstract compositions gives him a sense of freedom to experiment and improvise. Regardless of the mode, figurative elements always remain dominant in Tran’s paintings, lending his images a very distinct organic and natural aesthetic. This reflects his enduring fascination with human nature, which he sees as intrinsic to both individual lives and broader society.​
