Flowers is pleased to announce an exhibition of three extraordinary artists, Tomer Aluf, David Hornung, and Vithya Truong. The show will run from June 30th through July 31st 2010 with an opening reception for the artists to be held on Tuesday, June 29th, from 6-8pm.

In his recent work, Vithya Truong seeks a delicate balance between certainty and ambiguity, clarity and obscurity, reality and imagination, as well as representation and abstraction. The familiar becomes unfamiliar, leaving viewers with more questions than answers. At first glance, the predominantly grey paintings may evoke a sense of melancholy or loneliness, but upon closer inspection, the sincerity of the images reveals a mysterious yet hopeful depiction of being.
Born in Bangkok, Thailand, Truong now lives and works in New York City. He received a BS (1991) from Northern Illinois University, DeKalb, IL, and an MFA (2007) from the New York Academy of Art, NY.
