Tran Hong Duc (1961)

Abstract paintings by Tran Hong Duc has a very special style. From light-colored trails like very light strokes on paintings, the artist creates the colors of levels with a variety of techniques. Spreading, dots, throwing, dropping with rapid and slow and deliberate rhythms can be realized. Together with it, there are so many colors and feelings. Then, audacious strokes are shown on painting with combination of colors, showing sudden and sketchy emotions. Together with it, there are contours of polygon shapes and geometries mixed in multidimensional trails and naturally spreading colorful trails. Paintings are then gradually shaped in the moving of strokes and mentality of the artist. Seeing such the paintings, we sometimes see a city removed from its structure or a landscape with mixture of border contours of shape and space or a still-life with its covering peeled off. The interesting thing is the denying process towards everything and recognizing it by intuition and emotion, creating strokes. Perhaps, that is the origin of this abstract painting style. Tran Hong Duc was born in 1961. His name is not very familiar but it makes everybody think about a penmanship with powerful internal force and esthesis sense. He became a potential painter of Vietnam.
