ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Lý Trực Sơn’s "Untitled 5" is a captivating abstract work, fostering deep introspection through its evocative color and composition. The piece distinctively divides into two realms: a sombre, boundless dark expanse above contrasts with a warm, earthy reddish-brown field below. A shimmering golden line, like a fleeting horizon, serves as a delicate boundary connecting these worlds. Centered within the reddish field, a soft, ethereal blue luminescence emerges, suggesting primordial energy stirring or a nascent spirit. Utilizing mixed media, Lý Trực Sơn invites contemplation on cosmic balance and the profound emotional depth inherent in existence.

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.
