Fashionable artist Bich Nguyen skillfully mixes acrylic
paint and resin to create fascinating swirls of color, which seems brightly
hued hot springs seen from above, or maybe nebulae given the tie-dye treatment.
Her most amazing current work is a five-by-three-foot wooden panel that she’s
mounted on glass legs to make a table almost too appealing to use.
Moreover, the tones in the piece deep blues, greens, purples,
and aquamarines, carefully mixed with soft streaks of white and splatters of
gold seem to twist and ripple into one another, which she says comes from
layers of testing and a loose, unintended approach. However, the acrylic
affords color; it's the resin that provides the panel its shine, so it shines
like a surreal reinterpretation of a marble countertop.
Therefore, of her process, she explains, many times, I come
to a painting with a common idea of which direction I want to go, however on
the other times I have no exact idea, nevertheless the paint always takes me on
a expedition that I cannot plan, that is the real beauty of it, routine life
isn't always like that.
