Private Story
Seduction through the Geometric, the Regular, the Symmetrical
The pictures confront us with unique views of elements. They focus on the colors and shapes in detail and leave aside the manifold abundance of the surroundings. In this way, they unfold the power of the Particular: Something familiar, but exactly like this we have not seen things before.
Nguyen likes to play with the seduction of the geometric, the regular, the symmetrical. We find this everywhere as evidence of the constructive power of a design-oriented towards the ideal. Perfection is thus assumed, as is the case with the impressively harmonized light and color gradients or surface textures.
At the same time, the viewer is placed in an ideal position, from which interest in what is depicted can unfold. On the other hand, we are stimulated to let our imagination roam based on what is shown. Because in the stylization we find numerous occasions to associate moods and longings. All in all: anyone who gets involved with Michael Nguyen's pictures will experience enrichment.
