黑料不打烊

Tran Trong Vu is a Vietnamese Artist born in Hanoi. He graduated at the Hanoi School of Fine Arts and won a scholarship at the Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He now lives and works in Paris. His work beyond aesthetics reflects the obsession of a past that continues, the political and human derision. He paints on large transparent plastic sheets, then installs them in the workspace to create works in 3D. The modes of presentation themselves maintain an ambiguous relationship with the viewers: his installations composed of forests of plastic covers hanging from the ceiling, invite the spectator to get lost amidst painted silhouettes, in the anxiety inducing world of the artist. His achievements raise a public participation, complicity or at least an acceptance to enter the work. Visitors should seek their path in the transparency between images, figures, colors, and behave as if they were on a stage. His work is played on visual and psychological effects caused by its virtual maze of the image... Like the attractions at an amusement park: visitors go for fun and they find fear. He has had solo and collective exhibitions at the ASU Art Museum (Arizona), the Singapore Art Museum (Singapore), the Youth Art Palace (Tashkent), Espace Ecureuil, The Foundation for Contemporary Art (Toulouse), K眉nstlerh盲user (Worpswede), Casula Powerhouse (Sydney), Stenersen Museum (Oslo), Stiftelsen 314, International Contemporary Art Foundation (Bergen), Exhibition Center of Baie-Saint-Paul (Quebec), Galerie Mirchadani & Steinruecke (Bombay), Islip Art Museum (New York), Museum f眉r Lackkunst (M眉nster), Espace Paul Ricard (Paris), Haus der Kulturen der Welt (Berlin), the Modern Art Museum of Paris (Paris), Plum Blossoms Gallery (New York), Tobin Ohashi Gallery (Tokyo), Tropen Museim (Amsterdam), Watertoren (Vlissingen). His works are in the collection of the Singapore Art Museum, the Vietnam Museum of Fine Arts and the ASU Art Museum. He was awarded the first price at the Austria Biennial 2006 and the prestigious Pollock-Krasner Grant in New York for the season 2011-2012.
