︎ Reviewed by Art Writer Liam Otero:

“Brooklyn-based artist Tin Nguyen’s landscape paintings live by the phrases “stop and smell the roses” and “go touch grass”, for his images are a visual panacea to the noise of too much technology. However, Nguyen’s paintings are not conventional landscapes that assume a panoramic view of a grand scene that is captured from a distance - complete with a defined foreground, middle ground, and background. Alternatively, he situates the viewer within nature at its most intimate, where every scene is a first-person perspective that brings one up-close and personal to the flowers, grasses, trees, and all that not only satisfies one’s visual sensations, but also activates associations of touch and smell.

Even when the suggestion of a viewer’s presence is not so overtly defined, Nguyen makes up for this based on the subjective vantage points he selects within his canvases. The low-lying angles seen in the paintings moss-trunk, wet, I know (2026) and A Slower Kind of Walk (2026) imply a crouched position where the viewer is getting a much more focused glimpse at the smaller details of the wilderness that may easily be overlooked when caught up with the grandeur of a woodland setting; the former being the blankets of moss that provide a softness to the durability of a tree’s sturdy bark while the latter image centralizes our gaze on the micro-terrain of exposed tree roots, fallen branches, and patches of moss from a bottom-up look at a forested hillside....”
