Ly Tan Man — Echoes of a New City | Oil on Canvas | 36 x 60 in | Signed lower right

In Echoes of a New City, Ly Tan Man reimagines the architecture of memory through a distinctly modern lens. Bold verticals in crimson, alabaster, and ochre rise like city towers—monuments not only to place but to perseverance. At once abstract and architectural, the composition conveys a rhythmic density, evoking both the skyline of an imagined metropolis and the layered complexity of a life rebuilt.

Set against a cerulean sky fractured with motion and texture, the forms suggest both isolation and cohesion—each block standing alone, yet part of a collective ascent. Subtle drips, impasto textures, and diffused edges mark the passage of time and the weight of lived experience.

For collectors, this piece exemplifies Ly Tan Man’s ability to translate deeply personal narratives—migration, adaptation, and belonging—into contemporary visual language. Its scale and color presence make it a strong focal work for refined interiors or institutional settings, while its conceptual resonance ensures it stands as a meaningful acquisition in any discerning collection.
