Lan Anh Truong

Lan Anh Truong is a Vietnamese emerging visual artist studying and practicing in Naarm (Melbourne), whose practice spans painting, sculpture, and installation. Her work explores the spatial potential of found and mass-manufactured objects and materials. This often involves combining the rigour of geometry with organic forms in a playful experimentation of colours, materials, and composition. Her sculptures unfold as drawings in space, gradually shaped and contoured by gravity, in an inevitable tension between control and surrender, embracing the impermanence and imperfection. In recent works, she reconsiders our relationship with the natural world through unpacking the socio-cultural, familial, and intergenerational nuances of her bonsai subject, while suggestively addressing concepts of labour.
