Duy Huynh: A Magical Realist at the Crossroads of East and West

Floating Meditation

I've been neglecting my blog, but I am happy to have done a little bit of writing on Duy Huynh's paintings--up now at Escape Into Life Online Arts Journal. For the most part his works are a mystical take on Magical Realism which is quite dreamy (in a good way). This image struck me as very like some of the reworkings of the Bhudda by contemporary Tibetan artists at the Rubin museum. 

Other paintings seem more into Western modes and tropes. Exempla gratis: man in bowler hat below.

Time Flies

Time does fly--it's nearly fall. I'm looking forward to being more with you then. Until then, happy summer!
