Minh Lan Tran

Minh Lan Tran’s paintings approach the image as a form that resists any stabilisation of meaning and total legibility. A space of tension opens between the work and the viewer, where what is perceived remains partial and unstable. Her canvases are permeated by an elusive force, marking the distance between presence and perception. Tran also works with installation and performance, and has engaged with forms of protest, notably acts of self-immolation in certain Buddhist traditions.
