​Quang Vu ’18 is a studio art major at Colorado College. In 2018, he worked with Haitian artist Ralph Allen to paint a mural, “The Spell,” ahead of Allen’s show at the Fine Arts Center in February. During Summer 2017, Vu also collaborated with CC Art Department Chair Scott Johnson on “Fissure & Terminus,” a permanent installation that reused books to create a stone-like structure for the newly renovated Charles L. Tutt Library. This project was highlighted during CC’s 2017 Summer Research Symposium. During this time, Vu received scholarship from the art department to study CNC machining at the Anderson Ranch Art Center. For his senior thesis in 2018, Vu explored the traditional practice of Vietnamese lacquer and put a refreshing and modern twist to the classic technique.
