Nguyen Manh Hung

Nguyen Manh Hung (born 1976) is a Vietnamese multidisciplinary artist based in Ho Chi Minh City.

Hung makes art that reflects the comical situations arising from the rapid yet piecemeal processes of domestic urbanization and modernization. Nguyen Manh Hung's artworks present immersive environments with droll juxtapositions that cleverly allude to national and cultural realities in Vietnam, as well as personal and contemporary life experiences, focusing on the visual relationships of disjointed elements and unusual scales. Hung reflects on the idea of community, the conflicts that exist within and without constructed societies, and the complexities of civic development and individual responsibility. Depicting military airplane laden down with oversize grocery items, or else soaring across the sky with bushels from the rice harvest, Hung's surreal scenes humorously morph a symbol of destruction with conduits of hope, benevolence and joy.
