The Factory Contemporary Arts Centre

15 Nguyen U Di, Thao Dien, District 2, HCMC

The art of Oanh Phi Phi is primarily a relationship between sơn mài (lacquer), light and movement. In her works, Oanh Phi Phi seeks to challenge the assumption of form, capacity and definition of lacquer, preferring to argue its immersive (as opposed to optical/decorative) powers.
