작품 상세

Tuan Nguyen was born in Saigon in 1963. After the fall of South Vietnam, Tuan was jailed by the communist regime for one year. He later escaped to Cambodia and then to Thailand where he spent close to a year in a refugee camp. In 1988 he came to the United States and studied at the Art Institute of Southern California (1991-1995). "Existential Balance" is the term, coined by Tuan, to bring emphasis to the importance of balance to human existence, because life itself is about balance. Each of Tuan's sculptures is, therefore, a visual and tactile essay on "Existential Balance", featuring the counterpoint and interaction of elements that highlight the balance between darkness and light, masculine and feminine, rough and smooth, and often heaven and earth. Another unique feature of the sculptures of Tuan is the way that he has masterfully engineered them to seem almost weightless, belying the fact that they are cast in bronze. The perceived weightiness of the dense bronze is mediated by way of Tuan's architectural, mathematical, and engineering skills, creating elements that seem weightless; poetic and philosophical expressions of Tuan's understanding of "Existential Balance." This bronze at Fascination St. Fine Art Gallery right now is $31,850.00.
