Anh Trần

Anh Trần (b. 1989, Bến Tre, Vietnam) is an artist based in Berlin. Trần’s painting experimentations consist of immersive representations, operating autobiographically within her own displacements. From her departure to Europe from Vietnam, after a decade spent in New Zealand, she developed abstraction as a response to historical academic restrictions – structured around Socialist Realism – by encompassing bold brushstrokes, expressive colours, layers, impasto, and collage.

She has had solo exhibitions at Société, Berlin, DE (2023); Fitzpatrick Gallery, Paris, FR (2023); Galerie Fons Welters, Amsterdam, NL (2022); and participated in group exhibitions at Arcadia Missa and Modern Art, London, UK (2025); Karma, New York, US (2024); Auckland Art Gallery, Auckland, NZ (2024); Pedro Cera, Lisbon, PT (2024); Zeno X Gallery, Antwerp, BE (2023); Deborah Schamoni, Munich, DE (2023); Bortolami Gallery, New York, US (2023); Museum de Fundatie, Zwolle, NL (2023); Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh, US (2022); and Museum Dhondt Dhaenens, Deurle, BE (2022).
