b. 1982, Hanoi

Graduated from the Vietnam University of Fine Art in 2007, Nguyễn Đức Phương (aka. Phương giò)’s creative practices span across painting, installation, folk painting restoration – particularly Kim Hoàng prints. Phương giò’s interest is deeply rooted in vernacular culture and local arts. This is demonstrated through his use of materials such as gió paper, soil, ceramics,..; his free-spirited and seemingly simplified figurative; Eastern single-line composition (đơn tuyến bình đồ); and his nostalgic yet humorous sensibility towards contemporary life. He participated in some notable exhibitions such as: ‘The Foliage 2′ (2018) at VCCA, Hanoi; ‘Look for the Divine Beings‘ (2017) at Nhà Sàn Collective, Hanoi; ‘Virus‘ (2011) at La4uatrième, Creative Lab_Hanoi, Hanoi. In 2018, he was an artist in residence at A. Farm, HCMC.
