Surviving the truth

There is something about Vietnamese artist Duong Thuy Duong that makes you want to explore – to find out more about what is inside this quiet painter and her enigmatic works of uncanny self-portraits, kitchen-tableaux’s, railway stations and hovercrafts, all in the most beautiful colors – often a more enchanting blue than any blue I have seen before.

Searching for Lucy

Most of the large format paintings by the artist Duong Thuy Duong who lives in Berlin resemble, at first glance, abstract works, whose content doesn’t seem immediately apparent. Only after the second look do the tangle of lines and impasto brushstrokes start to become concrete, as in Portrait 2: Eyes, nose and maybe a mouth?

The world of Duong Thuy Duong

There is a “black hole“ in Duong Thuy Duong's universe and you will feel it’s strong magnetic field when you look at her paintings. The journey might begin in her kitchen-a mother of two daily space's, and end up on a highway where you might ask yourself “what is this?“ Is this the end of the world or is this the Eternity, where am I?“
