ARTIST BIO
(b.1985, VIETNAM)
Since an early age, the young Vu had been exposed to the art of folk wooden sculptures. Following in the footsteps of his
grandfather and father, who were traditional sculptors, Vu contributed to the decoration of Buddhist sites since the age of
eight. His childhood was filled with visits to temples and pagodas of Bac Ninh, a northern city that was the earliest center
of Buddhism in Vietnam. Naturally, Vu's childhood inspires him to work with sculpture - a family's tradition that has
become his deepest passion.
In Vietnam, Vu is one of the very few contemporary sculptors who works with iron and steel, and he finds in the materials
uncountable potentials. In most of his works, the artist assembles readymade iron bars together using the welding
technique. He creates repeated patterns that resemble the biomorphic shapes of cumulus clouds, which seen like a series
of uninterrupted loops.
