Van Tran (b. 2000, Hanoi, Vietnam) is a visual artist working between Vietnam and Ireland. His practice centres on traditional Vietnamese lacquer, engaging themes of migration, ecological interdependence, and material memory.
Through layered surfaces incorporating silver leaf, eggshell, and shell fragments, Tran constructs paintings that function as temporal archives. His work reflects lived experience across geographies, drawing parallels between avian migration and diasporic identity.
He has exhibited in Ireland, Vietnam, China, and France, including exhibitions at the National Museum of Fine Art (Vietnam) and The Lab Gallery (Dublin).
