Huê Thi Hoffmaster (hWay), is Vietnamese American, currently residing in Weston, CT. Hue tests the limits of his ignorance and pursue what may very well be useless, as he goes in search of that mystery and intuition that may or may not exist within me.

His paintings represent whoever he is when he arrives in front of the canvas. The aesthetic variety may be a record of emotions or play and is certainly a by-product of getting captivated in whatever game he’s playing with inside of the picture plane. At times, Hue loves to push and pull and ride the thin line between objective and non-objective. He loves to organize color masses with messes of lines breaking spaces and spots of color floating around as if it's dust in the air in front of this “thing” he’s painting. To use black masses to brighten the space. To make up the rules as I go and to discover new “rights and wrongs.” It’s a play- a painting turns into an event, and like life, is rife with inconsistencies. How lovely.

He studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia, PA from 2001 to 2005.
