Pham

PHT (Pham Hoang Thanh) is a self-taught visual artist for many years. In 1994 he took art classes in UQAM to improve skills in drawing, painting, sculpture and in print. Later PHT started painting non-figurative works (abtract paintings) for 10 years and the series Tension was created.

Since 2005, PHT wanted to do figurative works and the theme self portrait was born. Although he paints self-portrait but his subject focuses on the idea of not painting himself but showing only the traces and symbols that he can identify himself with like the shirts, the guitar, quotations, song lyrics and woman images.
