As industries dive deeper into the digital space, leveraging their environment to reach and connect with customers, web designers also thrive. Among the most talented graphic designers, artists, and UI/UX designers in the world is Neo Tran, who decided to offer his talent and brilliance to individuals and organizations in the United States. Neo Tran is known for developing smooth and user-friendly interfaces accompanied by unrivaled digital works of art, showcasing his wide range of skills and expertise. Taking another momentous step in his career, Neo Tran recently showcased his work through VIBERWAVE, an art exhibition on vaporwave aesthetics right here in Los Angeles.
For Neo Tran, graphic art is not only a modernized expression of art but is a whole new avenue in itself, with the ability to whimsically capture its audiences and transport them to worlds they’ve never imagined before. His art takes viewers to a unique dimension, and was beyond ecstatic to showcase ten of his best creations to date through the art exhibition.
“My work explores the intricacies of the interwoven relationship between chillwave lo-fi music and vaporwave aesthetics. In tandem, they invoke a nostalgic familiarity and a curiosity for mysticism,” Neo Tran shared. “This artwork is here to take you on a mystical retreat to a world where modernism and minimalism intertwine; to give you a sense of belonging in this ethereal world,” the artist added.
Asked why he chose to become the artist he is today, Neo shared that art gave him the freedom to express and pull himself out of the ordinary world to one conjured by his own imagination. Being an artist allowed him to escape reality. Art, to him, is an avenue to explore the world through his own lens and not through anyone else’s.
“I have ten pieces of work in the theme of vaporwave on display. I’m inspired by the visual interactions between colorful lights and how they can be used to express a sense of etherealism, magic, and tranquility. I use an industry-standard 3D-rendering software called Cinema 4D to compose the scenes. My subjects are greek sculpture models that are available from museum archives to add a human element to my work. Through these still human sculptures, viewers can see themselves in this environment and can sense the magic behind each work. For ambiance, I hand-picked a playlist of chill lo-fi music and played it in the background. I also darkened the room and put up different light sources, white, pink, and purple, to further bring the sense of mysticism,” Neo Tran shared. Each of Neo Tran’s works is sold for $1500 or more, with the price varying for custom pieces specifically requested to fit commercial spaces.
The VIBERWAVE art exhibition is up in the Gallery in Spaces Fairfax, Los Angeles. The show is also expected to take place in Seattle and New York in the future. For the rest of 2022, Neo Tran aims to display and showcase his art in more cities across the United States.
