Linda Nguyen Lopez (b. 1981, Visalia, California) is a first-generation American artist of Vietnamese and Mexican descent. Her brightly glazed, anthropomorphic ceramic sculptures explore the poetic potential of the everyday objects surrounding us. She resists acknowledging that these are inanimate objects, choosing instead to imagine and articulate the vast range of emotions she finds embedded within them.
Lopez received a BFA from California State University of Chico and an MFA from the University of Colorado at Boulder. Her work has been exhibited in Italy, New Zealand, England, and throughout the United States, including the Craft Contemporary Museum, Los Angeles; Museum of Art and Design, New York; Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Bentonville; Long Beach Museum of Art, Long Beach; Renwick Gallery, Smithsonian Museum of Art, Washington D.C.; Red Arrow, Nashville, Tennessee; Albertz Benda, Los Angeles; The Hole Gallery, New York; David B. Smith Gallery, Denver; and Mindy Solomon Gallery, Miami. She has been an artist in residence at The Clay Studio, Archie Bray Foundation, CRETA Rome, and Greenwich House Pottery.
This exhibit is presented by The Booth Foundation.
