This solo exhibition by interdisciplinary ceramic artist Brian Vu features minimalist, colorful wall and sculptural works that incorporate porcelain, wood, and steel. Unique, thought-provoking compositions focus on the modular, geometric nature of the domestic household, rendering ceramic and non-ceramic materials equally significant to spark nuanced and formal conversations.

Brian Vu's work explores themes such as color theory, architecture, material specificity, geometry, and empty space. His compositions address the improvisation of memory within domestic settings, aiming to initiate new dialogues about the monotony of everyday life.
“A cup leaves a circular stain on a table; it is picked up and placed down on the same spot again and again. It is both intentional and involuntary," says Vu. "It is a consistent improvisation; repeating and improving mundane daily tasks towards an unconscious efficiency and intended function.”
With an MFA in ceramics from Cranbrook Academy of Art and a BA in ceramics and contemporary dance from Bennington College, Vu has exhibited in numerous group and solo shows nationally, receiving multiple fellowships and residencies.
This exhibition will be open to the public on Thursdays to Saturdays from 12pm to 5pm and by appointment. Note: The Pioneer Square First Thursday Art Walk event has been rescheduled to July 11th due to the holiday.
