# Phosphenes

Cedric's largest and most intense work. A boxer, himself, at 72 x 53 inches. Fists raised, blood at his nose and chest, a ring of daisy flowers orbiting his head like the lights you see after a hit. Phosphenes are exactly that, the flashes behind your eyes when everything goes dark. This work sits inside that collision of beauty and impact. Up close the red yarn of the blood is soft to the touch. That contrast between softness and violence is precisely the point.

### About The Artist Content

Cedric Vu (b. 1996) is a French-Vietnamese contemporary visual artist born and raised in San Jose, California. From 2014 to 2023, he lived in Los Angeles, where he studied filmmaking, worked as a dancer, and held a range of production roles in film and television.

In 2024, Vu returned to his hometown to establish a physical art practice rooted in creative authorship and independence. Teaching himself to tuft yarn, he began creating textile works - often self-portraits - using his own image out of practicality as he developed his technique in the medium. Though textiles have become the foundation of his emerging body of work, Vu continues to expand his practice with the intention of working across multiple mediums.

Since establishing his studio practice, Vu has exhibited at the Triton Museum of Art in Santa Clara, where he also serves as an Art Preparator. His work will be featured in the forthcoming 2027 group exhibition Echoes of Being at the Bakersfield Museum of Art. Vu’s work has quickly captured the attention of collectors and admirers alike, including renowned stylist and image architect Law Roach, known for his collaborations with Zendaya, Céline Dion, and others.
