He is represented by Lisa Sette Gallery and Haines Gallery, San Francisco, CA.

 Binh Danh was too young to remember the war or to understand the circumstances unfolding around him when he was a child living in Vietnam. Thus, his experience of history is intuitive, he has no individual memory of the war yet he senses that the events are part of his cultural DNA, which have shaped him and his work. “For me it becomes almost a religion, it’s almost my own religious practice when I make my own artwork, because I am coming up with my own concept of what is life, what is death, what is consciousness and what is history.” (Binh Danh, interview “New Memories of an Old War,” Spark, KQED/PBS, May 31, 2006)
