Dan Lam (born 1988) is a Vietnamese-American sculptor best known for her "drippy" sculptures and use of vibrant color. Using materials of polyurethane foam, acrylic paint and epoxy resin, her finished work often dangles over shelf ledges, contrasting emotions of desire and disgust. Artists who've inspired Lam's work include Eva Hesse, Claes Oldenburg, and Lynda Benglis. Lam lives and works in Dallas.
Early life and education
Lam grew up an only child and attributes time spent alone making things as preparation for her adult career. Her mother was artistic and drew Lam's portrait every year.
Lam earned bachelors and masters degrees in Drawing and Painting from North Texas University and Arizona State University, respectively. As a student she was challenged for making things "too pretty," which inspired her to explore concepts of excessive beauty.
