Nguyễn Duy Mạnh Vietnamese, b. 1984

Nguyễn Duy Mạnh (b. 1984) graduated from the College of Education in 2007 with a major in Fine Arts Education. He is a member of the Vietnam Fine Arts Association and currently lives and works in Hanoi.

Since 2006, Duy Mạnh has successively worked with media and materials such as painting, fiber, objects, and ceramics. Throughout his practice, Duy Mạnh is concerned with highlighting the vulnerability and disintegration of values and culture. He represents the trauma that disrupts an individual's spiritual life in the face of ongoing reality. He creates pottery using forms and patterns inspired by the historical periods of the cultural region in which he lives. He deconstructs them by cutting, sawing and fragmenting.

Some of his selected exhibitions include: Dirty & Disorderly: Contemporary Artistst on Disgust, MASSMoCA, Massachusetts, 2025, Untamed Souls, Galerie BAO, Paris, 2024; Becoming Alice: Through The Metal Tunnel, The Outpost, Hanoi, 2024; The Inner Space, Vietnam Fine Arts Museum, Hanoi, (2016); "Yin and Yang in Contemporary Sculpture", The Muse Art Space, Hanoi, (2023); Vietnam National Fine Arts Exhibition, Hoa Lư, Hanoi, Vietnam, (2020); Bịt mắt bắt dê, Ngo Quyen Art Center, Hanoi, Vietnam, (2019), and more.
