Trương Tân (Hanoi, 1963) is a Vietnamese painter. He graduated from Hanoi University of Fine Arts in 1991.[1] His work is known for sexual and anti-traditional family values messages, leading to some of them to have been confiscated or refused public viewings.[2][3] The black-and-white graffiti style of his earlier work was associated with that of his slightly younger contemporary the woman painter Đinh Ý Nhi.[4]

Usant du seul noir et blanc, ils interrogent au moyen du graffitis ou de techniques répétitives des sujets d'actualités, comme le Sida ou la condition féminine. "
