我想要盡可能簡單地描繪當下；就像我們閉上眼睛就能聽到街上的喧囂一樣。我平靜地描繪生活，就像寫日記一樣。 ——裴公慶
Bui Cong Khanh (b.1972, Da Nang, Vietnam) has gained an international reputation since the 1990s. His works include performance, painting, installation, ceramic and wood carving. Born on the divide between north and south Vietman in a historic immigrant town of Chinese and Japanese traders since the 18th Century, his works interplay the many histories of his surroundings often touching on the Vietnam war, Vietnam’s colonial past and the modernization of his country. His art is a gestural melding of traditional symbol, cultural ritual and consumer habit. His oil paintings, lacquer experiments, works on paper, performances, installations and ceramic sculptures carry a bombastic sense of color and subject, these varied works often humorously appropriate popular consumer symbol with textual and figurative pun.
