BIOGRAPHY
Tran Nam Tuoc, born in 1974, is known as a multi-disciplinary craftsman, but he is most prominent in ceramics. His works bear a strong personal imprint, combining folk culture with the essence of ancient craftsmanship, always in harmony with traditional craft villages.
He was drawn to ceramics from a young age, with a culture that was fragile and a skill that was pieced together, drifting through life while learning from the ancients, gradually creating the fragments of his life. His experiences therefore have become a formula of emotions and a conventional framework.
To the artist, ceramics is a flexible material that anyone can work with. However, for ceramics to have a voice, one must invest both heart and intellect, and only time can fairly determine its intrinsic value.
