Dan Lam walks the line between numerous dichotomies to uncover new modes of expression. By navigating the realm between attraction and repulsion, motion and stillness, seriousness and playfulness, softness and hardness, Lam wields magic power over each idiosyncratic vision. The experimentation remains palpable, but the work never so abstract as to disengage. Compelled by these seemingly disparate juxtapositions, the viewer is overcome with a range of complex emotions and creative ideas.
Dan Lam (b. 1988) is an American sculptor of Vietnamese ancestry, best known for her ‘drippy’ sculptures and vibrant color palette. Using non-traditional materials of polyurethane foam, acrylic paint, and epoxy resin, her finished work often dangles over shelf ledges, contrasting emotions of desire and disgust. Lam earned Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Drawing and Painting from the University of North Texas and Arizona State University, respectively. As a graduate student, one professor challenged her for making things “too pretty”, which inspired her to explore concepts of excessive beauty.
