Tackling complex concepts of identity and displacement, Kenny Nguyen’s work is a painting, textile art and sculpture all at once, achieved through a process he has perfected through years of experimentation and exploration. In the studio, strips of silk get cut, pressed into the paint and firmly attached to the canvas to create a dynamic mosaic of texture and colour. However, the work is not truly finished until the moment of installation when Nguyen hand-sculpts the canvas onto the wall, transforming the expansive piece into a light-catching topography of undulating drapes and folds.
