About the Artwork
“Two akin, two together. Romancing in concert; Performing in harmony; Soaring akin - soaring together. Romancing in step; Dancing in harmony; Existing akin - existing together. Romancing in life, Living in Harmony.” - Tuan
The last edition of this sculpture sold in 2009 for nearly half a million dollars.
About the Artist
Tuan Nguyen
Tuan Nguyen’s works exude harmony and peace, though - as a former captive in a Vietnamese concentration camp - this artist has experienced an existence far removed from the serenity brought forth with his artistry. In 1995 he received a fine art degree from the Art Institute of Southern California. He is the recipient of the Gloria Medal from the National Sculpture Society (New York).
“Art is vital for me. It is almost a religion. It means to believe in people, in life, in love. It is a response to what is beautiful and ugly. As an artist I do what I do for no other purpose than to express my feelings.” – Tuan
