Adriel Nguyen: New Work
2023
Agnes Keller Gallery presents Adriel Nguyen: New Work, a vibrant showcase of abstract landscapes that push the boundaries of color and emotion. Nguyen’s bold palette and sweeping brushwork transform natural forms into expressive fields of energy. Her paintings are immersive, filled with saturated reds, luminous greens, and electric blues that pulse across the canvas. Each piece in the exhibition feels like a landscape remembered in a dream—fragmented, fluid, and deeply felt. Nguyen’s abstraction is rooted in sensation rather than representation.
In Sunspill Ridge, color cascades like light through fog, while Tide Memory evokes motion through layered strokes of cobalt and coral. The works are large in scale, inviting viewers to step into their atmospheres. “I want the paintings to surround you,” Nguyen says, “like weather, like music.” Her process is intuitive, often beginning with a single color and expanding outward in rhythmic gestures. The exhibition includes twelve new works, each a meditation on place, memory, and movement. Critics have praised Nguyen’s ability to balance intensity with grace. Her landscapes are not literal—they are emotional terrains. The Agnes Keller Gallery’s airy space amplifies the luminosity of the work, allowing each canvas to breathe. Nguyen’s influences range from post-impressionist color theory to contemporary abstraction. Her paintings resist easy interpretation, instead offering a sensory experience. Adriel Nguyen: New Work is a bold and beautiful reminder of the power of color to evoke, transform, and transcend. Th
