TU DUC NGUYEN
Tu has often likened the production of an artist to the keeping of a personal poetry. In his case, his photography is largely influenced by composition of realistic cohabiting with unnatural or unexpected forms. Tu was born in Hanoi in 1982. After being kicked out of the Open University, he decided to go for a career in arts, his passion since he was a kid. “Being kicked out of University was the best thing that could happen to me!”, he laughs. Since then, he has participated in many collective exhibitions in HCMC, Hanoi and in Paris.
