Author Biography

Tony Guo, Auckland University of Technology

Tony Guo (1999) is a painter born in Aotearoa New Zealand who grew up in Northeast China. He migrated to Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland in 2012 by himself, spending his teen years with host families while adapting to multiculturalism. Vested in modes of figurative oil paintings, Guo’s work projects queer allegory in a psycho-theatre, as moments of whimsy mask a journey into a captive dilemma.

He completed an MVA at AUT in 2022 and continues to expand his conceptual and technical realms through research and practice.
