Pierre-Francois Ouellette

In collaboration with United Contemporary (Toronto), Pierre-François Ouellette is delighted to present recent works by Huy Lam. Lam is a multi-disciplinary artist based in Toronto. Born in Vietnam, Lam's practice is rooted in an ongoing fascination with non-verbal communication, with an emphasis on process based construction that is informed by his meditation practice. Having established a distinctive aesthetic from his precision of hand, the artist works with wood, brass, stainless steel and more recently paper. As a self-taught wood and metal-worker, Lam looks to celebrate the natural, diverse, and malleable qualities of his medium, with a focus on materiality and tactility. Using his experience as a professional photographer, Lam applies his understanding of light to his calculative designs, resulting in an illusion of form, dimension and space.
