Description

Sokquon Tran oil on canvas, Of Land and Sea, signed. Size: 61 x 76cm. Stretched and ready to hang

Sokquon Tran was born in Cambodia in 1969. The Cambodian-Australian contemporary artist is best known for his sublime and ethereal landscapes. His paintings are imbued with an emotional and spiritual significance that speaks to the romantic tradition. Overlaying his otherworldly subjects with richly-hued shadows and rippling natural light, Tran's seemingly simple compositions are fascinating and mesmerising. Not only are they beautiful, but they stir a sense that something more lurks beyond the horizon. He has exhibited and been collected extensively nationally and internationally. He was a finalist in the Wynne Prize at the Art Gallery of New South Wales in 2013 and is highly sought-after by collectors worldwide.
