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

The Journey of the Rocks series documents Eric Ho’s recent excursion to the magnificent Mount Taihang and the inspiration he took from the travels. Ho challenged himself by stepping out of his hometown Hong Kong to which he has dedicated his earlier works, depicting the multi-layered and angular view of a dense metropolis. Compelled by the breathtaking landscape of Mount Taihang, Ho constructs new landscape compositions that seek a stronger connection with the past - with powerful lines and shadows seen from the dynamic rock formations; the harmonised colours reflected between the streamlet and minerals, and the cliffhanger rocks on the steep gorge.
