Focusing on delicate, ethereal female figures in their work, Tran Nguyen and Stella Im Hultberg make a perfect pair for their two-person show, “Borrowed Memories,” premiering at Thinkspace in Culver City on September 29. Tran Nguyen’s portraits take a baroque approach, enveloping female characters in layers of flowers and draped fabrics. Meanwhile, Stella Im Hultberg’s fresh-faced beauties become fractured on tear drop-shaped canvases, their identities obscured with geometric abstraction. Take a look at a sneak preview of some works-in-progress courtesy of Thinkspace.
