Thinh Dinh
he/him
Having immigrated to the United States at a young age, Thinh didn’t feel attached to Vietnam yet felt like an outsider in his new “home.” In his work, he creates liminal spaces, a state of in-between-ness and ambiguity that encourages transition, through fictitious landscapes to explore the reconstruction of cultural identity filtered by memories and feelings of displacement & isolation.
Using silhouettes from found vessels as a framing device Thinh creates a visual language that fuses these two worlds. The commentary focuses on consumerism, constructions of cultural identity and my reflections on contemporary events. These spaces serve as mind maps, with symbols & memories nested within one another, an odd mix of old & new. His imagined landscapes invite viewers to ponder the immigrant experience.

Max is an artist/muralist from Providence Rhode Island which informed a lot of hisearly years and influenced the art he creates.
