Tomas Vu produced Flatland I-XX, a series of twenty unique prints, at the Neiman Center in 2008-2009. He employed several techniques including screenprint and collage to build richly layered, fantastical scenes depicting cycles of destruction, decay and rebirth. The prints can be installed individually or altogether in a grid, the later highlights the dynamic play of light and shadow that is central to the series as Vu explained, “Through Flatland I have created a landscape that allows for the amalgamation of opposing and conflicting forces: destruction and recovery, chaos and clarity, brutality and civility. . . This perceptual power play, the excessively waged war between light and dark, is embodied not only in the use of chiaroscuro but the exposure of the many contradicitons.”
