ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Lý Trực Sơn's Hòa sắc phấn màu 3 (Pastel Harmony 3) offers a compelling visual symphony of contrast and exquisite harmony. The background is steeped in a warm, terracotta palette, subtly transitioning between reddish-browns and elusive streaks of amber-gold, creating an evocative depth and textured expanse. Against this profound backdrop, an abstract form emerges—a pair of wings rendered in striking, deep cobalt blue, suggesting a spirit taking flight or a moment of powerful, introspective stillness. The potent interplay between the fiery warmth of the ground and the cool serenity of the central motif not only creates a strong visual focal point but also evokes a sense of vibrant life, a longing for transcendence amidst tranquility. This work is both subtle and powerful, showcasing the artist's refined aesthetic vision.

Lý Trực Sơn
(1949 – )Lý Trực Sơn (b. 1949) is a preeminent Vietnamese artist celebrated for his rhythmic and emotionally charged abstract lacquer practice. He masterfully transforms profound emotional energy into unique abstract lacquer structures, characterized by thick surfaces, strong chromatic rhythms, and a distinctive vermilion-black-gold palette. His oeuvre not only honors the rich heritage of traditional lacquer but also forges a deeply contemporary expressive language.
