Mai Ta
Vietnam
Mai Ta, born in 1997 in Vietnam, received her BFA in illustration at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. She has exhibited her works in various locations, including the United States, Hong Kong, London, and Switzerland. Currently, she is represented by Pablo's Birthday Gallery in New York City and Ojiri Gallery in London, and she resides and works in Saigon, Vietnam. Her works primarily consist of delicate and intimate imagery. She uses gouache to paint on wood boards, depicting her inner desires and her quest for reconciliation with the world. Through her art, she conveys the inner wounds, secrets, and memories within her, while also sublimates them into her own symbols. Mai Ta seeks truth within her emotions and expresses them with honor through her paintings. For her, art is a form that allows her to safely and freely express herself.
