Le Quoc Thanh, Shredded Memories, 2022, mixed media on canvas, 55 x 55″.
“Le’s paintings can be read as attempts to capture on canvas an elusive light through a patchwork of color and a wild array of brushstrokes of varying density, movement, and velocity. Through his litanies of analog times, scribbled measurements, and the deployment of avatars like Edvard Munch’s Scream-er or the raging Red Bull logo, Le cobbles together a meditation on the role of the individual in a society obsessed with consumerist values, quantifiable standards, and fantasies of subterranean unrest.”
