ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Đào Minh Tri’s “Mother Fish,” rendered in lacquer on wood, is a vibrant ode to primordial life. At its core, the powerful Mother Fish with its striking multi-colored stripes is encircled by myriad smaller fish and ethereal white figures, gracefully dancing in a sacred aquatic realm. The rich, deep red lacquer background not only lends profound depth but also accentuates the vivid blues, blacks, and pinks. The dynamic, radial composition evokes a profound sense of protection, fertility, and ceaseless cosmic energy, drawing the viewer into a captivating mythical world where life pulsates with ancient rhythms.
