Tuan Vu
....
Tuan Vu was born in Saigon, Vietnam, and is currently based in Quebec. A self-taught artist, Vu’s creative practice spans drawing, painting, and photography, with a particular emphasis on exploring colour to convey emotions and narratives. His work often features women within vibrant tropical landscapes, drawing inspiration from the Parisian artist group Les Nabis and Odilon Redon as well as the flattened planes of traditional woodblock Japanese prints. Vu employs a unique process of layering colour directly on canvas, creating dreamlike compositions filled with rich textures and intriguing patterns. His art invites viewers into mystical worlds where beauty and imperfection coexist, aiming to evoke joy and a sense of peace amid life’s challenges.
