Michelle Nguyen: Ode to Proteus

GJG is delighted to launch Michelle Nguyen’s first UK solo show ‘Ode to Proteus’, presenting an intimate collection of works featuring traditional Buddhist altars, colourful representations of still-life scenes and fragmented, ever-evolving figures, occupying the pictorial surface in unique and striking compositions. The exhibition investigates how change pervades every sphere of our existence, with each artwork touching upon a specific area: from the ambivalent nature of grief, to the evolution of cultural beliefs, through the study of morphing creatures, both mystical and natural, to the constant transformation of our own identity.
