Nho Nguyen

For Vietnamese artist and new American Nho Nguyen, color is life. Living means color. "Color is my language; with this I create art." Nguyen's abstracts in oil and acrylics incorporate intense use of color, texture, motion and emotion. While he was a political prisoner, color gave him the inspiration and desire to live through punishment, torture, hunger and misery. "Playing with color gave me happiness in the midst of great misfortune. I paint with gratitude, with openheartedness. I paint with all my heart."
