Thea Long is an artist born and raised in western China, working across moving image, installation, painting, textiles, performance, and sculpture. Growing up amid China’s rapid economic transformation, she became attentive to shifting values and ways of thinking across generations. Her practice is shaped by the tensions and collisions between dominant social ideas, conservative cultural frameworks, and religious traditions—forces that recur as subtle undercurrents in her work.
Thea holds a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) from the University of Auckland, and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Whitecliffe College of Art and Design. Drawing from her inner world, she works with memory, feeling, and cultural experience as material—using hybrid forms and layered narratives to build tension and resonance between personal memory and cultural structures.
Thea Long 出生并成长于中国西部，创作媒介涵盖影像、装置、绘画、纺织、行为与雕塑。她成长于中国快速经济转型的时期，持续关注代际之间价值观与思维方式的变化。她的创作常围绕主流社会观念、保守文化结构与宗教传统之间的张力与碰撞展开，这些力量以细微却持续的方式潜入作品之中。
Thea 毕业于奥克兰大学纯艺术硕士（MFA），并取得Whitecliffe 艺术与设计学院纯艺术本科（BFA）学位。她以个人经验与内在世界为出发点，将记忆、情感与文化经验视为创作材料；通过混合媒介与多层叙事，在个人记忆与文化结构之间建立张力与回声。
