Harry Go was born in Ozamiz City, Philippines in 1985. He immigrated to the United States in 1992 and currently resides and works in New York City.

The themes in Harry's work are based on his personal life as a mix-raced Asian immigrant turned American citizen. Undertones of unfamiliarity, cultural confusion, and self-criticism often appear throughout his body of work. Subsequently, a sense of cautious introspection and an anxious desire to belong to himself and his own culture becomes the central purpose of his work. Harry's work, in essence, is a vessel through which he struggles to rebuild the ideas and traditions that were lost during his personal Diaspora.

I remember coming to the United States as an 8-year-old and being unsure about how I would fit in. I remember that my first impression was that race was important, and that being Asian, I was somewhere in the middle.

The resulting artwork attempts to replicate that experience as a way to evaluate the choices that were presented to me as a child. Traditional portraiture allows me to follow the transition that occurs from initial visual perception to the eventual judgment of an individual. A way to answer the question: Who is true?

The hope is that through my work, and the dialogue between myself and the society I live in, that I discover if I've finally fit in.
