Art: Christine Nguyen
T-B: “Flying Boats” & “Volcanic Love Entwined with the Stratosphere” by Christine Nguyen
Wow. I just found out about the artist Christine Nguyen through the myspace page of Familiar Trees and I’m blown away by the delicacy and substance of her pale, atmospheric drawings. Here is a quote from the LA-based artist’s website:
My work draws upon the imagery of science, but it is not limited to technologies of the present. It imagines that the depths of the ocean reach into outer space, that through an organic prism, vision can fluctuate between the micro- and macroscopic. I have been developing a personal cosmology in which commonalities among species, forms, and environment become visible and expressive, suggesting past narratives and possible futures. The forms and environs in my work sometimes migrate into new pieces, establishing new systems. These systems imagine modes of transportation, communication, and regeneration. There are no waste materials in these worlds: vision is a renewable resource.
What a great phrase in this age of faux eco-trendiness: “vision is a renewable resource.” There are dozens more drawings and some photography-based works over at Christine Nguyen’s website, go and take a look.

I went to her show at Michael Cohn Gallery on Beverly, its amazing! I think its still up? Her new stuff rocks! You definitely get lost in it!
Yeh her photography based stuff is a lot darker, and has a totally different vibe, would you agree?
Glad folks are enjoying it.
