About Loc
Through painting, I use materiality to reaffirm the material world and invent new ones. My personal aesthetic evolved from nostalgically bright colors that hearken back to sensibilities of my youth. Because of this persistent interest, I purposefully adopt palettes and compositions from cartoons and other visual graphics. The vocabulary of images I use are idiosyncratic, but also serve as evidence of my biography. Growing up in a Vietnamese-American household, I was exposed to both East Asian, as well as Western kitsch. My paintings utilize the language from both visual cultures, and this hybridization is emblematic of my identity.
Loc Huynh (b. 1992 Austin, TX) earned his BFA from Texas State University in 2016.

He has exhibited with Martha’s Contemporary (Austin, TX), Rusha & Co (Los Angeles, CA), Half Gallery (Miami, FL/Los Angeles, CA), Blue Star Contemporary (San Antonio, TX), and has an upcoming solo show with Half Gallery (New York).
