signed, titled and dated on reverse. Canadian-Vietnamese artist Michelle Nguyen's themes are both unique and poignant. Nguyen's practice is widely informed by the contemplation of death and mourning. Her works serve as ‘modern Memento Mori,’ exploring contemporary themes while borrowing motifs from 17th-century Dutch Vanitas, Greco-Roman mythology, and literary magic realism.
Nguyen's work also addresses themes of intergenerational trauma, historical erasure, and ecological grief. The artist's aim is to encourage a dialogue around human mortality in the belief that there is a restorative value in holding space for mourning; a rather relevant topic in modern times. The artist has recently exhibited in Vancouver, London, New York and Paris.
