Dan Duy Nguyen and Mailan Thi Pham both utilize an aesthetic approach they refer to as "Phantasma Transcendentalism," a visual and philosophical movement that uses art to raise questions, stir thoughts and enlighten both the viewer as well as the artist. Growing up as Vietnamese Americans, Nguyen and Pham navigate a beautifully complex, modern world wrought with all its sociological, worldly and spiritual issues. For the Sweeney, the artists have created a twenty-four foot mural with sculptural elements and their own sound work. This is the first exhibition in Sweeney’s new Window Gallery series. The exhibition has been guest curated by Lee Tusman from the Riverside Art Museum.

The work of Demon Slayer features a visually busy "soft punk" style born out of an active, street aesthetic paired with a precise, technically complex hand-painted feel. Mechanized geometric structures in some sections contrast with swaths of bright colors and doughy bodies. The viewer reads the surface differently depending on their viewing context, whether by entering the gallery directly or viewing the work in passing when driving down the street.

The work mixes everyday cultural references, pop Americana, and addresses current ideologies. On the left side of the mural is a banner with the phrase One Universe and Em Ahn, meaning feminine and masculine in Vietnamese and alluding to the harmonic duality of everything: the two sides of a single coin. On the right side of the mural is a mecha-hand reaching toward a portal of transcendence.

The recurring image of the three-eyed creature, both a character in its own right as well as a stand-in for the idea of an artist who possesses a "third eye" that allows him or her to tap into realms beyond daily experience through his or hers creativity, is recycled throughout the mural’s world.
