The Essence of Light

Ở The Essence of LightIn The Essence of Light , artist Nhat Quy has created an abstract world, where light is no longer simply a physical phenomenon, but becomes a living entity, a philosophical and emotional flow.

The composition of the painting is led by strong red patches, stretching and spreading like an explosive energy stream. The red color here evokes both fire - a symbol of life, of passion, and blood - the primal source that nourishes all existence. Interspersed within the red patches are bands of orange, brown, white, and black, creating a dense visual field, a constant dialogue between heat and stillness, between chaos and balance.

Điểm đặc biệt là cách nghệ sĩ xử lý không gian: thay vì để ánh sáng chiếu rọi, ông để ánh sáng thấm nhậpWhat is special is the way the artist handles space: instead of letting the light shine, he lets the light penetrate , becoming an organic part of the structure of the painting. The white and gray spaces not only play a calming role but also create breathing, opening up the necessary spaces for the viewer to contemplate.

At a deeper level, the work evokes a sense of “essence” – where light is no longer something seen by the eyes, but an inner energy, hidden in all things and in people themselves. The interplay of colors and shapes is like a visual symphony, bringing viewers into a state of both tension and liberation, like a journey to find the truth about existence.

With its large size, the work does not only stop at its formative aspect but also creates a physical experience: when standing in front of the painting, the viewer is almost drawn into its force field, directly facing the pure energy that the artist wants to convey.

The Essence of Light is therefore not just a simple abstract painting. It is an artistic manifesto: light is not something that comes from the outside, but is the deep essence that silently exists and moves within each individual, each moment of life.
