MyLoan Dinh is a Vietnamese-American multidisciplinary artist. Her work draws from the shifting, cross-cultural entanglements that comprise her experiences as an immigrant woman and former refugee from war. Stirred by the everyday manifestations of identity, memory and displacement, she works in a variety of media - painting, sculpture, mixed media and performance. MyLoan explores the permeable boundary between personal and collective history by deconstructing materials, images, and objects to (re)construct personal experiences and narratives within the larger cultural context of which she is a part.
MyLoan was born in Saigon, Vietnam. She studied fine arts at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and at the School of Arts and Design at Wollongong University in New South Wales, Australia. She has exhibited internationally and her work is in public and private collections in the United States and Europe, including the Muhammad Ali Museum and Center, Artfields, Mint Museum of Art and the Imago Mundi Benetton Foundation. Recent accomplishments include: Southern Voices/Global Visions Group Invitational, 2023 NC Zeitgeist Foundation Biennial Touring Artist, Museum of Contemporary Art Arlington 2022 National Biennial, Artfields 2022 2nd Place Jury Prize, Arts & Science Council Creative Renewal Fellowship, McColl Center Residency.
