Painting Exhibition “THE WAY”: Dialogue between color and soul

The exhibition features 17 oil and acrylic paintings on canvas, marking a decade-long creative journey (2015 – 2025) by artist Nguyen Tat Long. The works are divided into three stages: “The Whirlwind of Silence” (2015 – 2016) with a black and white palette and strong calligraphy; “Invisible and Visible” (2020 – 2021) with small, unconscious strokes of color that evoke a sense of etherealness; and “Door” (2023 – 2025) with a series of large-scale, colorful paintings, created from smears, smears, and throws of color that emphasize randomness.

Painter Nguyen Tat Long shared: “The name “Duong” not only evokes an artistic journey but also an inner journey. Each work is a step on the path to finding oneself. I want viewers not to be influenced by specific images, but to find their own emotions in each streak of color.”

As an artist influenced by the international Abstract Expressionist movement, especially the New York School movement, Nguyen Tat Long firmly believes that art originates from the unconscious and subjective emotions. Experts consider this exhibition to be a step to affirm his unique style: faithful to absolute abstraction but still opening up a strong dialogue with the public.
