SACARSM IN NGUYEN TRONG MINH’S POP ART
“In today’s life, the majority of us want to be the center of focus and the first priority..! However, in the world of 8 billion people, what is my ranking? And what is yours?”
Nguyen Trong Minh‘s paintings are always the repetition of images, if you only look at it once, it is difficult to see the author’s mind. The works of the young artist born in 1982 have rather cold colors, mainly white, black, and gray. The subjects in his paintings are burdened with a cramped feeling that everything is arranged according to a “perfect” pattern but lacks the freedom of one’s own self.
The characters often seen in Nguyen Trong Minh’s paintings are women and children, who are considered “weak” people in society, who need to be cherished and protected. However, these are also the people who are most often oppressed, have to stay within the framework and suffer from many prejudices. This is a poignant satire on social issues through the extremely “Pop Art” and modern art eyes of Nguyen Trong Minh.
These harmonious contradictions are the point that makes viewers unable to take their eyes off Nguyen Trong Minh’s works. Visit Green Palm Gallery to decipher the paradox in his paintings with us!
