Dan Tran
Naive-Satirical and Abstract-Conceptual Art
I am a self-taught , immigrant artist from Vietnam. My work consists of two main groups of subject/style: Sociopolitical and abstract.
In the sociopolitical group (Lost & Found in the Time of INfection series), I tackle, in my naive-satirical style, burning sociopolitical subjects to protest what damages we inflict on our earth and ourselves (social justice, racism, climate change, mass murders, insurrection) and celebrate kindness, community, rationality and creativity.
In the abstract group (Entanglement of Opposites series) I meditate upon the duality-filled conundrum of the relationships that exist throughout the physical, mental and spiritual world. Via abstract geometric forms, I and the viewer can imbue them with an amalgam of interpretations.
In the past I also painted about the sociopolitical-mythical conditions of my country of origin, Vietnam. A smaller series paints pop portraits of world cultural icons.
I appreciate your viewing and feedback.
