Terence Koh

Terence Koh is a Canadian artist. He is known for his provocative and often controversial works that explore themes of spirituality, sexuality, and identity.

Koh works in a variety of media, including sculpture, performance, and installation. He often incorporates found objects and materials into his pieces, such as bones, hair, and glitter.

One of his most well-known works is "Gone, Yet Still," a performance piece in which the artist covered himself in white paint and stood motionless in a gallery for hours at a time. The work explored ideas of stillness, mortality, and transcendence.

Koh's work has been exhibited in major museums and galleries around the world, including the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, and the Tate Modern in London.

He has been the recipient of numerous awards and grants, including the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Award in 2007. His work is noted for its confrontational and often unsettling qualities, as well as its ability to challenge viewers' assumptions and beliefs about art and the world around them.
