Memory Lane - Artist Trieu Khac Tien

The lacquer painting "Memory Lane" by artist Trieu Khac Tien is painted in a semi-abstract style, with warm and deep tones juxtaposing the scattered cold spots across the frame.  The figures can be seen as soldiers wearing old uniforms, or chariots forming through unfinished lacquer. They all represent the hazy images of the past, while the dragonflies hovering overhead reminisce the unknown.  One can also notice a swimming fish, or a group of coral that evoke a deep sense of marine space concealing old memories.  All this chaos and obscurity applaud keen observation to uncover the mysterious nature of the figures.
