PETER VIET-LU: Peter studied Fine Art sculpture at

Loughborough University, graduating with first class honours. In his artwork, he first creates origami figures which he photographs then sketches in various staged scenes, using pen and ink, acrylic spray paint and graphite on board. He exhibits his work locally in his spare time whilst working in a gallery and cites artists such as Robert J. Lang, Hanna Werning, Chris Bourke and Mike Giant as influences. Peter said: “I use everyday objects to develop character based art, combining humour and engaging imagery to illustrate my imagination. “Using traditional instructions, I manipulate the existing paper form to recreate in my own aesthetic ideals. I document and reinterpret the structure to capture what would otherwise be a fragile and impermanent state. The result is a series of stripped down ‘origami inklings’ in soft and hard monochrome mediums; combined with chaotic lines within rigid structured ones.”
