Thu Van Tran

Thu Van Tran was born in 1979 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. She lives and works in Paris, France. Working across a range of forms and materials, Tran uses her own experience as a cultural outsider - a Vietnamese woman living in France - to explore physical and cultural displacement and the history of colonialism, subjects that have become poignantly relevant in today's climate. Works by Thu Van Tran currently feature in several local and international public collections, such as the prestigious Collection of the MNAM, Musee National d'Art Moderne - Centre Georges Pompidou (France), the Collection of Frac-le de France (France), the Museum of the Louvre Abu-Dhabi (United Arab Emirates) and the Collection of the Fondation Kadist (France / United-States).
