Henry Nguyen

Henry Nguyen is a multi-disciplinary creative with a background in visual communication design. He is most interested in the values in the art that connect different communities whether in a sentimental or aesthetic aspect. Henry also practices art himself utilising multiple media such as embroidery, paintings, drawings, ceramics and poems exploring self-identity, culture and inner self. A reoccurring subject of matter in his work is type whether as calligraphy or typography. His works dive deeply into the inner self and observe mundane activities to express the self as a unique individual but also a part of a whole, allowing the audience to relate and connect.

Henry is part of our M_Curators initiative.

Wominjeka (Welcome). We acknowledge the Yaluk-ut Weelam as the traditional custodians of the land on which we meet. Yaluk-ut Weelam means ‘people of the river camp’ and is connected with the coastal land at the head of Port Phillip Bay, extending from the Werribee River to Mordialloc. The Yaluk-ut Weelam are part of the Boon Wurrung, one of the five major language groups of the greater Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to the land, their ancestors and their elders—past, present and to the future.
