Van Chu is a Vietnamese artist who came to the United States in 2001. He got his MFA from the University of Utah in 2010 majoring in Digital Imaging/Photography. His works have been shown in exhibitions across the country from New York to California, Illinois and North Dakota and Utah. Some are curated by Maura Lynch who is the Assistant Curator of Drawings at MoMA, Elisabeth Susman who is the curator at the Whitney Museum, Timothy Hawkinson who was featured on PBS's ART 21, Reginald Woolery who is the director and curator at the California Museum of Photography and Deborah Boardman who teaches at School of the Art Institute of Chicago. By using digital photography, a new born art form, then combined it with the essence of Chinese painting, one of the oldest continuous artistic practices, Van Chu has created a body of photographs bringing traditions to the forefront again while giving them a breath of fresh air of the technological advances of the twenty first century, a reminder that we are the intersection of what came before us and what is yet to come.
