Anh Duong : Can You See Me

3 Feb-21 Mar 2014

Overview

ROBILANT+VOENA are pleased to announce the first UK exhibition of paintings and sculptures by French-American artist Anh Duong (b. 1960). Featuring twelve paintings and two sculptures, the exhibition interrogates the artist’s sense of identity via her characteristic language of self-portraiture. Set largely against dark plain backgrounds, Duong’s self-portraits are psychologically intense and personally revealing, intimate yet never narcissistic. Duong’s work has variously been described as ‘timeless’ (Glen O’Brien), ‘raw and oddly private’ (Mark Van de Walle), and ‘extremely fascinating’ (W.Van den Bussche). It has been shown internationally at galleries such as Sonnabend, Sperone Westwater, Tony Shafrazi, Cheim and Reid, and Jérôme de Noirmont.
