    As someone whose first language was not English, Duy Huynh has long been fascinated with the ambiguities and nuances of certain words and phrases. As a visual artist, he enjoys taking things too literal, and uses the language of symbols and metaphors in conjunction with puns and hybrid words to add yet another layer of mystery to his narrative, often surreal, artwork. Images that often reoccur in his paintings, such as moths/butterflies, boats,, trains, musical instruments, flowers, trees, umbrellas, have become a personal vocabulary. Used in deliberate combinations Duy hopes to evoke introspection and a sense of wonderment.

    "At the core of my work is a search for balance and continuity, usually between two or more mysteries. My characters often float (literally) somewhere between science and spirituality, memory and mythology, structure and spontaneity, ephemeral and eternal, humorous and profound, connectivity and non-attachment. The intent isn’t necessarily to provide enlightenment, but to celebrate the quest itself."

    Duy Huynh, Charlotte NC
