Tea Laroux (he/him, b. 1997, Natchitoches, Louisiana) is a conceptual photo artist based in New York. Raised in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, his work is rooted in the mythic, the spiritual, and the painterly — merging composite imagery, chiaroscuro light, and allegory to explore transformation and the body as metaphor. A U.S. Navy veteran, Laroux is currently pursuing a BFA in Photography at the School of Visual Arts in New York City.

Drawing from Sephardi poetic inheritance, ritual, and memory, his images construct visual allegories rather than documents, using light as a sculptural and narrative force. Laroux has exhibited nationally and internationally and has been recognized through publications, residencies, and collaborations, including features in The World of Interiors, Vogue.com, and Al-Tiba9, as well as participation in the Silver Art Project residency. His practice continues to focus on the creation of painterly photographic worlds — meditations on metamorphosis, devotion, and the unseen.
