Benefits is a work by the artist Dan Lam (Morong, Philippines, 1988). The daughter of Vietnamese migrants, born in the Philippines and raised in Texas, she generates sculptures that melt before the gaze of the spectators. Influenced by Lynda Benglis, the artist decided to start working with resin, glues, and plastic polymers. Her works, full of curves and bulges that spill over what supports them, are presented as organic elements before the viewer. “I want the sculptures to offer that illusion of being alive, but without needing to take drugs to see it,” says Dan Lam, who uses psychedelia and neon colours to turn the inert into a completely different reality.
