BEN NEEDHAM
Download Resume
Needham is an American painter born in Vietnam.
He studied at the Parsons School of Design in Paris and continued
at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs before obtaining his M.F.A.
from the San Francisco Art Institute.
In his new work, Needham continues his themes
of identity and lost heritage by stretching the western tradition
of landscape oils. The results are striking cinematic paintings
in an unorthodox square format of unfamiliar Vietnamese landscapes
with unnatural colors and strange nuances.
