Nguyễn Đức Huy Vietnamese, b. 1995

Nguyễn Đức Huy (b. 1995) is a visual artist based in Hanoi, working across painting and video installation. He studied at the Vietnam University of Fine Arts. His practice explores the shifting boundaries between presence and invisibility, identity and anonymity, and the tension between what is revealed and what remains hidden. 

A recurring motif in his work is the chroma key–suited figure, a device borrowed from cinematic special effects that both reveals and erases the body, producing ambiguous subjects that question the stability of identity. While his works are often rendered in bright, playful colors, they carry underlying tones of alienation, uncertainty, and psychological dissonance. More recently, his practice has turned toward an investigation of personal and collective memory, using found materials from which he removes individual traces, leaving behind distilled symbolic forms. 

Huy has exhibited and screened his work internationally across Vietnam, Japan, Singapore, Indonesia, Germany, Switzerland, Ireland, and Australia. Highlights include his first solo exhibition, Soon the Time Will Come at Á Space, Hanoi (2023), and a group show Virtual Private Realms at Manzi Artspace, Hanoi (2021).
