이력
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), Künstlerhäuser (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 für
Lackkunst (Münster), 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.
