Tobias Wong is a New York based artist originally from Vancouver, Canada.
He has studied art, architecture and design and is a graduate of
Cooper Union in New York. Much of Wong's work plays between concept
and beauty, exposing the similarities between art and design rather
than blurring their boundaries. Unlike purely conceptual work -
which often lacks a real appreciation for beauty, aesthetics, and
a desire for consumption - his work often finds expression in real
objects. He's coined the term "Paraconceptual" to describe it: "Of,
relating to, or being conceptual." He has also worked as a
conceptual consultant for Prada/OMA, Reflux Editions in New
York, and The Apartment in New York among others. His work
has been exhibited at Twentieth in L.A., The Biennale Saint-Etienne
in France and others and he has been featured in Wallpaper
(UK), ELLE (USA), Surface (USA), Bazaar (USA),
The New York Times (USA) and others. For more information
