About Tony Yin Tak Chu

Tony is a Chinese Installation artist, currently resides in BC, Canada. He relocated his family from Hong Kong in 1996. After graduating from the Visual Arts program at ECIAD in 2006, he continued his education by doing additional First Nations and Asian art history courses at UBC. Started as a painter, Tony moved into Installation Art in 2010. In January of 2011, Tony made his first installation art at Richmond's Lansdowne Shopping Centre, and that started the journey into articulating spaces within a white cube or in an open space. Influenced by the Combines, he made two Cargo Container Arts at the PNE in 2011 and at the Richmond International Film Festival in 2012.
