Antonius-Tin Bui

Film directed by Alexa Caravia for Fountainhead Arts

Antonius’ residency was sponsored by Hesty Leibtag and Terry Verk

Antonius-Tín Bui is a Vietnamese-American multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans papercutting, sculpture, performance, and installation. Rooted in craft, ritual, and portraiture, their work explores migration, queer identity, ancestral memory, and the transformative potential of improvisation. The child of two Vietnamese refugees, Bui draws from personal and collective histories to create immersive works that honor the emotional and spiritual dimensions of belonging, crafting spaces where grief, love, and resilience converge. Bui has presented solo exhibitions at moniquemeloche, Chicago; Various Small Fires, Dallas; and Hudson D. Walker Gallery, Provincetown. Their work has been exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery, The McNay Art Museum, and University of Michigan Museum of Art, and is represented by moniquemeloche.
