Huy Lam is a multi-disciplinary artist based in Toronto. Born in Vietnam, Lam’s practice is rooted in an ongoing fascination with non-verbal communication, with an emphasis on process-based construction that is informed by his meditation practice. Having established a distinctive aesthetic from his precision of hand, the artist creates meticulously collaged works on paper, alongside finely balanced sculptures made from wood and fine metals. As a self-taught wood and metal-worker, Lam looks to celebrate the natural, diverse, and malleable qualities of his medium, with a focus on materiality and tactility. Using his experience as a professional photographer, Lam applies his understanding of light and exacting composition to his calculative designs, resulting in an illusion of form, dimension and space.
