Tin Nguyen's Intimate Landscapes at Auxier Kline Gallery

Brooklyn-based artist Tin Nguyen presents 'How Nice to Not Rush' at Auxier Kline Gallery on the Lower East Side, running from March 27 to April 30, 2026. The exhibition features intimate oil paintings that place viewers within nature through first-person perspectives, often including a hand interacting with the scene. Works like 'for sure, I couldn't hold back from you' (2025) depict a hand rubbing tree bark, while 'moss-trunk, wet, i know' (2026) and 'A Slower Kind of Walk' (2026) use low angles to focus on moss and roots. Nguyen's partner appears in 'look: autumn came, and you were beautiful' (2025), where a hand holds a leaf before a face. 'a new view, and how nice to not rush' (2025) is set inside a train. The closing painting, 'no longer a rehearsal, together with the sunrise's choreo' (2025), was inspired by a Buddhist retreat in Northern California. The review was written by Liam Otero for Art & Ponder.
