ERIC HO KAY-NAM (HE JILAN, B. 1974)

Eric Ho has taken an interest in Chinese painting since his youth, having been inspired by his father He Baili. As an artist and designer, Ho has explored art in different media and his creative work reflects the varied cultural influence he received. By using traditional Chinese painting skills to represent Yin and Yang – the two opposing principles in nature – he draws on his understanding of Chinese philosophy and reflects it in his latest paintings. His HKID series is a uniquely urban, geometric and multi-layered portraiture of Hong Kong.
