Hoang Van-Bui

Born in Vietnam, he immigrated to the United States and became a citizen in 1987. The artist has created an impressive body of work with mixed media installations, small bronze studies and wall-mounted constructions. Van-Bui has said that he uses art to bridge values from East and West.

His work has enlivened several extraordinary projects, including the landmark exchange exhibition, “An Ocean Apart: Contemporary Vietnamese Art from the United States and Vietnam,” organized in 1995 by the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. and circulated throughout the United States.
