“Some artists are impressionists, others are realists. Duy is an alchemist with the magical ability to transform the ordinary into the ineffable. The fantastical, surreal quality of his work renders familiar symbols, forms and beings into engaging visual haiku – or koans. Something for the viewer to ponder and appreciate.

I’m especially fond of his floating figures – inspired by the muse of beauty, nature or longing. I also enjoy his other style of ”levity” – depicting a clever pun (or even a bad “dad joke”) with brush and paint . . . like a wily Zen master, pointing at the moon.” – Jim L. / collector
