Inman Gallery is pleased to present If Memory Serves, a solo exhibition by Loc Huynh, on view May 16 – July 3, 2026. Please join us in celebrating on Saturday, May 16. Exhibition walkthroughs with the artists will take place at 1:00pm, followed by an opening reception from 2:00–4:00pm.
Loc Huynh draws from the visual language of Pop and traditional genre painting to create scenes that explore diasporic Asian American identity and cultural hybridity. His technical practice blends airbrush techniques – a highly mechanical mark – with more painterly modes, taping off forms to create flat, crisp lines with smooth volumetric renderings. The resulting images are highly graphic and often biographical, with a nostalgic tone and playful tenor. If Memory Serves presents recent paintings focused on the artist’s family’s arrival to the United States from Vietnam in the 1980s, as well as his upbringing in Austin, Texas in the 1990s. Using the artist's own archive of family photos as source material, his work explores how intimate family histories are intertwined with the vast geo-political theatre.
Loc Huynh (b. 1992, Austin, TX) holds a BFA from Texas State University (2016) and an MFA from the University of North Texas (2020). Select solo exhibitions include the Art Museum of Southeast Texas (Beaumont, TX), Museum of the Southwest (Midland, TX), Martha’s Contemporary (Austin TX), and New Release Gallery (New York) among others. His work has been included in group exhibitions at the Asia Society (Houston, TX); Ogden Museum of Southern Art (New Orleans, LA), DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities (Washington, DC); Orlando Museum of Art (Orlando, FL); Blue Star Contemporary (San Antonio, TX); and Lawndale Art Center (Houston, TX), among others. He has participated in the Vermont Studio Center Residency (Johnson, VT) and was part of the Lawndale Artist Studio Program (Houston). Huynh lives and works in New York, NY.
