From the organizer:
Of Cloud and Sediment unfolds through layered surfaces where historical ornament, natural forms, reflected light, and material accumulation exist in continual states of transition. Across the paintings, carved motifs derived from the temples of King Đinh and King Lê emerge within flowers, fauna, and geometric linear structures as fragmented visual remnants – dispersed, obscured, and suspended within shifting fields of colour and metallic surfaces. No longer fixed as decorative or natural forms, these elements become unstable presences that drift between concealment and revelation.
Hùng constructs spaces that exist between memory and materiality, where historical forms, natural elements, and abstraction remain suspended within shifting states of balance and transformation. Through these layered surfaces, the works invite viewers into environments that feel at once grounded and immaterial – simultaneously ancient and contemporary, ordered and fluid, familiar yet impossible to fully define.
