Inman Gallery is excited and honored to formally welcome Loc Huynh to the gallery program. Huynh presented his first solo exhibition with the gallery, titled Western Bootleg, in May 2023.
Loc Huynh (b. 1992, Austin, TX) draws from the visual language of Pop and mass-market images to paint figurative scenes that explore the hybridity of Vietnamese and Texan culture and diasporic Asian American identity. His technical practice blends airbrush techniques – a highly mechanical mark – with more painterly modes, taping off forms to create flat, crisp lines with smooth volumetric renderings. The resulting images are highly graphic and often biographical, with a nostalgic tone and playful tenor.
Huynh recently completed the Wassaic Project residency in Wassaic, NY (Winter 2023). Forthcoming residencies this coming spring include The Blue House Project in Austin, TX and Bunker Projects in Pittsburgh, PA.
Loc Huynh is based in Houston, TX.
