HOM NGUYEN
Born in Paris in 1972, Hom Nguyen is a self-taught artist with an instinctive style. As an unconventional personality, his artworks are equally unconventional. Working with charcoal, gouache markers, oil, and pen, each of his paintings appears as a battle, a close confrontation with the material from which a desire emerges: to reveal the deepest aspects of human beings through lines and color.
The essence of Hom's work revolves around the creation of monumental portraits. The choice of colors, the application of materials, and the vivacity of his gestures are always meant to showcase his vision of human beings beyond appearances. His artworks capture and transcend the depth of feelings and the complexity of emotions that inundate the human soul.
His subtle representations address the duality of the visible and the invisible, the material and the immaterial. Thus, Hom Nguyen prompts each of us to reflect and introspect on what we show of ourselves, what we try to hide, and what we truly are.
