Zhen Guo was born in Shandong Province, China, and experienced the “Cultural Revolution” during her teen years. She graduated from the Chinese Painting Department of the China Academy of Art in 1982 and was hired there to teach in its Chinese Art Department. Zhen Guo is one of the earliest explorers of ink art after the reform and opening up of China. She immigrated to the United States in 1986 and established Zhen Guo Art Studio in New York City in 1988. Guo has participated in many international art exhibitions and has long been committed to the research and exploration of contemporary feminist art. Major auction houses such as Sotheby's have repeatedly promoted her works. In recent years, Guo has curated and participated in: “Existence: International Women's Art Exhibition” in Changsha, China; "Please Touch, Body Boundaries,” a large-scale exhibition at Mana Contemporary Art in the United States; "Asian Women Artists Exhibition" at Jeonbuk Provincial Museum of Art, South Korea, and many more abroad and in the United States.
Zhen Guo now lives and works in New York City.
