Tammy Nguyen: A Comedy for Mortals: Paradiso at Lehmann Maupin completes her trilogy inspired by Dante’s Divine Comedy. Through paintings and prints on parchment, Nguyen reimagines Dante’s celestial journey, layering historical and mythological references from the Cold War, space race, and global politics. Her intricate compositions pair archival text and image, casting figures like Frankenstein and Eisenhower in floating, symbolic landscapes rich with moral and ecological tension.
