The Secret Code Hidden in Chen Nguyen’s Illustrations
In Tran Nguyen’s portraits, spirited subjects coexist with ethereal environments. Tran Nguyen’s Ethereal Portraits Portray Melancholy Moments. “I’ve always enjoyed themes revolving around melancholy, the female figure, and species found in nature,” she says.
Whimsically walking alongside praying mantises, embracing a tiger in a suit, or encircled by swans, each character is presented with delicate detail, down to their flowing tendrils of hair and gossamer garments. This daintiness lends itself to the compelling air of fantasy that characterizes Nguyen’s style.
Acrylic Paints and Colored Pencils, Let’s Rocked Road!
After working on large-scale murals for some time, the Georgia-based artist mainly uses acrylic paint and colored pencils. On heavyweight watercolor paper, light washes of acrylic block in initial fields of color and precede layers of paint to create value. Colored pencils execute final details, like refining darker values.
Though she loves working with traditional materials, Nguyen is also creating a new apparel line. Check out her website for updates.
