Emotional Metaphysics:  The Art of Trieu Dao

There is a vitality of vibrant, pulsating life forms which cover the paintings of Trieu Dao. Each art work is a conscious act of remembering , processing
and re-creating a personal truth, a desired awareness, a discovery  of  what evokes the eternal in the colors, shapes and volume of Mr Dao’s massive portfolio.

In his compelling perspectives one can see a DNA tangle of forces, rivers of floating dreams, concourses of spiritual questions, foundations  of air pockets filled with twists and turns of his mind brush.

Such wondrous and passionate evocations require a tenacity and a perseverance, indeed an emotional bond with nature itself. Trieu Dao possesses such gifts and shares
then with us in an emotional metaphysics, a fusion of  abstraction in a nuanced reality which is impossible to ignore.
