John Lie A Fo (Paramaribo, June 15, 1945) is a Surinamese visual artist. He has a Chinese-Surinamese family name. He works in French Guiana. He paints, does graphic work, makes sculptures and uses themes from the Surinamese jungle. In the sixties he works as a musician in various European countries. Lie A Fo follows an art course at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp and the Free Academy in The Hague. In 1974 he is admitted to the BKR (the Visual Artists Regulation), so that he can fully devote himself to art. In 1979 Lie A Fo settles in Suriname. After the December murders, he returns to The Hague. From the first half of the eighties there is a lot of interest in his graphic work and various exhibitions follow. In December 1983 he moves to French Guyana, a neighboring country of Suriname, but with the same natural environment that can be found in his work. He regularly returns to The Hague to work there. His work is exhibited all over the Netherlands.
