Biography: 
1977 Born in Beijing (CN)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Terence Koh (born in Beijing, China, 1977) was raised in Vancouver, Canada and lives in New York City He is an American artist and received his Bachelors degree from the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design, Vancouver. He was also known as asianpunkboy, though appears to have retired that name.
Terence Koh creates handmade books and zines, prints, photographs, sculptures, performances, and installations. Much of his diverse work involves queer, punk, and pornographic sensibilities
Koh's work has been exhibited internationally at galleries and museums such as the MuHKA Museum in Antwerp, Wien Secession in Austria, the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, Kunsthalle Zürich [4] in Switzerland, and The Royal Academy in London. His work has been featured in a solo exhibition at Art Basel, and is included in several prominent collections including the Saatchi Gallery and the Judith Rothschild Foundation. He is represented by Peres Projects in Los Angeles.
Terrence Koh's work occupies a space between physicality and desire. Immersed in a highly personalised vocabulary, his sculptures, installations and light motifs suggest evasive narratives of seduction, emotional fragility and lost love. Often incorporating allusions to sexuality, ethnicity and adolescence, Koh's work engages with identity as an existential construction, driven by both pursuit of pleasure and certain mortality.
Comprised from ephemeral materials such as ash, hair, butterflies and bijoux, Koh's assemblages extol passion as larger than language, conveying engulfing sentiments in tactile mementos. Koh's sculptures appropriate diverse elements: drum sets, boudoir chandeliers, neon signs and Grecian busts are presented as symbols of power and delectation. Koh envelops their surfaces in monochromes of sinful black, virginal white and the cold lustre of diamond dust. His forms encourage sensations of lust, emptiness and sorrow.
Playing on coded sub-cultural signs, Koh insinuates a wry wit within his connoisseur's aesthetic. Decadent, pornographic, sensuous and clever, Koh's work explores the nature of queerness with a compelling sensitivity and openness.
