Dao Màu

Oil painting, palette knife·Chợ Lớn

The best view in the city is always the one behind you.

Dao Màu paints in oil with a palette knife, thick enough that the sun sits on top of the paint. He looks for the corners people walk past: the shadow of a roof on the pavement, the back door of a kitchen, the sky over the water tanks. If you stop there, it is usually beautiful.
