An Ngoc Pham “Past Present: Resurfacing”
Topaz Arts
This event has ended.
Past Present: Resurfacing features An Ngoc Pham’s body of work, surveying a 25-year span made in New York City. An Pham’s newest series, primarily in woodwork and sculpture, include “Flags” (2014) and “Shadow on the Great Hall of the People” (2012). Earlier works in oil painting “Sister’s Life” (1991) and light sculpture “Christmas in the Time of War” (1999) were originally shown in the 1990s as part of Asian-American arts activists known as Godzilla and in group shows alongside other prominent Vietnamese artists. An Pham’s precise works are ingrained with his views and recollections of growing up in a war-torn country. Honing his skills working as a carpenter for over 25 years and influenced as an artist assistant to sculptors such as the late Richard Artschwager and Dan Flavin, he currently lives in Queens and works in his studio in Brooklyn. read more >
“Carpentry solidifies the hand and the mind to create a work of art. My art is a representation of my political views and my understanding of life.” – An Ngoc Pham
