Artist talk “Earth” - Artist Lý Trực Sơn
“... The abstract part 'inside the external' of the artwork, according to Lý Trực Sơn, is 'a placewhere the light of reason cannot reach, not for scientific interpretation, is the realm of religious spirituality', according to his artistic perspective, the purpose of 'controlling' matter to create animage simulating the external appearance of beauty is a lost path, visual arts in general, like poetry and music, must be an effort to 'sow rhymes, sow sounds' in the realm of pure spiritual monism. The seed of art that unifies body-mind-spirit will sprout right in the process of creating the work, facing it, depending on the amplitude of the sensitivity of the mental waves, the viewer's sympathy can be at opposite poles, or indifferent, or falling into a state of 'Ecstasy' of emotion…”
Vũ Huy Thông (Artist - Art researcher)
In more than 10 years of experimenting with the language of abstract painting, artist Lý Trực Sơn has constantly sought a new path, creating his own language rules to expand the inherent definition of this art form. He does not consider abstraction as an extension of anything that hascome before, but rather a completely different cultural approach, originating from the mysterious, primitive needs of humans.
The conversation delves into the conception and realization of the exhibition “EARTH” | “EARTH” by artist Lý Trực Sơn, from tireless experiments on natural materials to the completion of astreamlined and truly unique abstract painting style.
With the participation of artist, art researcher Vũ Huy Thông and curator Đỗ Tường Linh asmoderators, the talk will open up multi-dimensional and profound dialogues about the practice of artist Lý Trực Sơn as well as the Vietnamese abstract art scene in a modern context.
