RON SIU
SEVEN WONDERS

Ron Siu is an artist currently based in Tkaronto/Toronto, Canada. Siu’s practice incorporates painting, printmaking and animation elements to explore themes around Queer desire and fantasy. His work is informed by Western and Asian art historical canons, decorative art movements such as Art Nouveau, alongside more contemporary pop sources such as gay-themed Japanese romance manga (Yaoi), video games and supernatural horror. By making connections between seemingly disparate cross-cultural threads, Siu aims to express a contemporary sense of Queer imagination.

Siu graduated with his BFA in Drawing & Painting at OCAD University in 2019. His work has been shown in exhibitions across Canada and internationally in the UK and Germany. Siu is currently pursuing his MFA at the University of Guelph.
