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 (Superposition of Opposites series) I use geometric forms to meditate upon the duality-ladden relationships that exist throughout the physical, mental and spiritual world, and that demands constant effort by man to maintain balance.
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.
