Zoe Duong Pham is a Vietnamese-born, Chicago-bred, and London-based visual storyteller working across digital illustration, animation and painting. Her practice is visceral and emotionally charged. Using bold colour and fluid movement, she explores the human connection to body, mind and emotion. She is interested in researching human self-expression through their choices of fashion, music and world building.
Zoe’s art is her rebellion against silence. Through her work, she challenges the inherited cultural expectations of femininity and sexual agency.

Red Plastic Stool
Illustration series (on-going)
This illustration series is inspired by the various ways that red plastic stools are used in Vietnamese community settings. From street food vendors, social events to classroom settings, the red plastic stool has become a staple in Vietnamese community life.
The design comes from a practical need rather than aesthetic or branding. Because of its flexibility and practicality, this chair is deeply connected to the rhythms of the streets and vibrant culture in Vietnam.
This series in a celebration of the relationship that is built and formed between people while sitting on the stool as well as the relationship between this iconic stool and the people.
