About the Artist
Duy Hoàng (b. Vietnam) is an interdisciplinary artist currently residing in New York City. Duy Hoàng has exhibited work at Brother Joseph McNally Gallery, LASALLE College of the Arts, Singapore; Wave Hill, New York; and Thomas Erben Gallery, New York, among others.
Moving to the U.S. at a young age, the transition demanded his attentiveness to the minutia of the new habitat in order to adapt to those small shifts, and therefore make sense of the much larger foreign environment. Hoàng dissects his surroundings, then reconstructs anew; overwhelmingly accumulating his working/living space with numerous findings and responsive-makings. This nesting process embodies an obsessive impulse to continually search for 'home', and pursuits to understand how things are connected to each other, despite their contrasts. From the mundanes to the phenomena, from the potential of growth to the inevitability of decay, from different times and places separated by many types of distances, we are all immanently intertwined.
