Biography

Huy Lam is a multi-disciplinary artist whose current practice is obsessively focused on sculpture. Previously, he worked as a professional photographer for over a decade, all the while developing personal projects in a variety of media. Like many artists, Huy was an aspiring painter in his youth, and drawing remains integral to his process. His new passion of working with wood explores its natural, diverse, and malleable qualities, with a focus on materiality and process. Huy Lam’s sculptural work includes custom furniture, lighting, stand alone and wall sculptures.
