Huyen Tran is an interdisciplinary artist born in Hanoi, Vietnam and currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. 

“My studio practice revolves around living and reflecting, intending to deconstruct the boundaries between life and art. Through my works, I seek to contemplate my life experience, to interrogate the capitalistic systems that inform our worth, to define (and sometimes fail to define) my artistic responsibilities for reflecting a culture, to further analyze the connection between art-making and how I process my personal life, and to continue asking why I see a resemblance between life and art.”

Huyen Tran is an MFA Candidate at Hunter College (Spring ‘27) and holds a BA in Marketing from Baruch College.
