Swan Crash w/ artist Tony Guo: 14th February, 2025

Swan Crash is an new exhibition by artist Tony Guo at Season Gallery Aotearoa. 

Guo is a painter born in Aotearoa New Zealand who grew up in Northeast China and moved to Tāmaki Makaurau in 2012. 

Although informed by particular experiences and histories connecting back to his parents’ and grandparents’ experiences in northeastern China in the 20th century and his queerness, Guo’s works invite shifting and multiple interpretations. 

Sofia spoke to Guo about his artistic practice, the ideas within his works, and his process.
