Binh Pho and Kevin Wallace will lead participants through creative processes from the conceptual to the technical and discuss the potential of collaboration as a means of expanding the possibilities.
Binh Pho |
Binh Pho is a critically acclaimed artist, known for an expansive approach to work in wood and glass that includes painting and a unique exploration of positive and negative space. The works feature a highly personal iconography, with imagery that relates to Asian culture and the natural world. The story of his journey from an idyllic childhood in Vietnam, the rise of Communism and his escape to the United States was shared in the book River of Destiny: The Life and Work of Binh Pho, published in 2006, in conjunction with a retrospective of his work at the Long Beach Museum of Art. In 2013, he collaborated on a new book and exhibition Shadow of The Turning. Binh Pho is in demand as a lecturer and demonstrator. His work is exhibited internationally and in the permanent collection of numerous museums. |
