Tuan Anh was born 1979 in Thanh Hoa and graduated from the University of Art and Design with a BA in Graphic Design in 2000 and mainly works as a painter and sculptor.

For Tuan Anh, the countryside is his spiritual foundation and it forms the basis of his practice, dominating his perception and approach to art-making.

Having relocated to Germany in 2013, the artist has been uprooted from his source of inspiration, leaving him in an in-between state, neither here nor there. This uncertainty is reflected strongly in Tuan Anh’s choice of current subject matters and materials.
