Introducing – Viet Phưong Nguyen

Viet Phuong Nguyen (TIEV), on the one hand a journeyman with three years of training as a ceramist and on the other hand part of the self-taught art collective BIKINI KOMMANDO. These formative periods of his life, which emphasise his appearance as an artistic ceramist from both a craft and artistic perspective, could hardly be more contradictory in their combination.

TIEV’s works contain a recognisable rigour of craftsmanship, which at the same time finds contradiction in his childlike defiance of the outdated image of ceramics. The process of his creations is always planned from spontaneity, experimenting and testing new and old techniques, such as baking.
