The Fantastic Fantasy Art of Hoang Nguyen

ImagineFX have posted an interview with Vietnamese artist Hoang Nguyen.

From ImagineFX.com:

“I’m trying to capture a mood or a moment lost in time. That’s most appealing to me.”

Marcel Proust believed that art could be used as a key to unlock memories hidden from our recollections. Hoang Nguyen is coming round to the same conclusion.

“Lately, I like to paint pictures that capture a certain mood or an emotional state, usually someone in deep thought or sadness,” he says.

Currently working as a character modeller at Electronic Arts, Hoang’s previous incarnations include illustrator and comic book artist. His daydreams are filled with one question: “How I can paint all day and travel the world, absorbing all the different cultures, taking pictures and documenting places that I’ve been to?”

Hoang’s personal work, recently collected in a hardbound edition, reveals an amazing imagination twinned with a great insight into what makes art reach into our heads and draw out something special.
