Mama Linh's Family Business

by Matt Huynh


 
 
 

Matt Huynh is a Vietnamese-Australian artist. His bold brush and ink paintings are informed by calligraphic Eastern sumi-e ink traditions and popular Western comic books.

His illustrated essays, comics and animations interrogate the vast repercussions of war, with a particular focus on amplifying diasporic voices, telling refugee narratives and the experiences of asylum seekers and migrant communities.

Huynh's paintings, comics and murals have been exhibited by the MoMA, The Smithsonian, Brooklyn Museum, and New York Historical Society. His work has been honoured by the Eisners, National Magazine Awards, Pulitzer, Webbys and World Illustration Awards. His work can be found at matthuynh.com.
