Biography

Pham Quoc (b. 1968) is a name in contemporary Vietnamese abstraction. He explores the rhythm of form, matter and emptiness, building works the way one raises a rammed-earth wall — layer upon layer, then scraped and sanded to reveal the depth of time.

“Emptiness is not absence — it is where the viewer enters.”

Expertise

Commands multi-layer texture-building on canvas, combining oil and lacquer to construct material depth.
