Imaginary Urban Area 01 Painting by Huy Dao Quoc

Painting: Oil on Canvas.

It is a blend of people and mannequin, which is half human, half mannequin. Mannequins qppear much in the modern urban area and society. Sometimes, we feel mannequins are very human and then in return humans are very mannequin. Like mannequins, they are insensible, get out of human nature and human culture in the modern society. Vietnamese society has drastic changes of economy, culuture, morals and tradition… whether these changes are negative or not… It seems to have “a new kind” of people who look a lot like manneqins, insensible???. “Imaginary urban area” – means illusion – illusion about the spirit in the modern life. People recognize “imaginary things” invading and influencing them a lot. Sometimes they don’t realize what is real or illusive; “reality is not real”, “reality is illusive”, which is clearly reflected in modern societies, especially when people want to face to their reality from themselves, are tranquil again to realize the line between fact and fiction.
Artwork form is multi-form of space and emotion, which are mixed and alternated with each other, multi-space and mlti-time. This form is considered “spakling in the space”. On the surface of artwork, there are real details, but all of them are in an unreal general structure.
