The work “The Season Takes Me Away” opens up an abstract space rich in emotions and inner depth. In the 97 x 146 cm canvas, Nhat Quy does not tell a story with specific images, but with feelings – the feeling of the movement of time, of the seasons, and of the human soul in that flow.
The main color scheme of the work is a warm yellow mixed with a soft gray, interspersed with patches of dull white and light brown. The yellow in the painting is not the bright light of summer, but like the late-season sunlight – just enough to warm, but also enough to evoke a bit of nostalgia. The blocks of color seem to melt and blend together, evoking a feeling of light movement, like a journey without a stopping point.
The composition of the painting is handled flexibly, the dark and light patches alternate with each other asymmetrically but are balanced in the whole. In the middle of the painting, the pale yellow color spreads like the center of a stream, pulling the viewer's gaze in two directions - like the flow of time, like the seasons carrying people through the memories and changes of the soul.
The oil paints are delicately processed by Nhat Quy, with different thicknesses, creating interwoven layers of space - both static and dynamic, both visible and invisible. The decisive brush strokes interspersed with flowing color patches evoke a feeling of freedom and openness without losing the calmness and contemplation.
On the symbolic level, the “seasons” in the painting can be understood as a metaphor for the flow of life, for the constant change, passing and rebirth. “Take me away” is not necessarily about being swept away, but about accepting and letting go of the natural changes of life – where people find peace in that endless flow.
