Paintings, illustrations and hand-poke tattoos
Hi, I’m Maggie!
The Mag behind the Wacky.
Wacky Mag (Maggie Guo) is a Chinese-Australian artist based in Naarm, working across illustrations, painting and hand-poke tattooing. Her practice is intuitive, whimsical and a surreal expression of her inner life.
Maggie creates worlds of movement, illusions and inter-connected narratives in her artworks as a way of processing lived experiences, emotions, memories and dreams. Her practice is very influenced by interests in psychology, philosophy and the nature of reality.
Maggie has exhibited in many group shows across Naarm and in September 2024 completed her first artist residency in Porto, Portugal. She has been tattooing for 4 years predominantly in Naarm and has guested across Australia and parts of Europe.
