INSTRUCTOR
Eric Ho
Inspired at an early age by his father He Baili, the renowned Chinese painter of the Lingnan School. Born in Hong Kong and then moved to Canada in the 80s, Eric received his Bachelor degree with a specialised honour in Fine Arts from York University (Ontario, Canada) in 1997. In 2003, he obtained his Master degree in Design Management from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Eric has explored his art with different mediums such as oil painting, watercolors, photography, sculpting, printmaking, Chinese ink painting and Chinese calligraphy. Born into the Eastern culture, but raised in a Western environment, his creative artworks also reflect this mixed cultural influence and has been collected by overseas organisations and collectors alike. His artworks produced in Hong Kong have continued this artistic conception. By using Chinese ink painting skills to represent the Yin and the Yang, two opposing principles in nature, Eric draws on his understandings of Chinese philosophy together with modern art and Chinese calligraphy and reflects them with his own unique style and interpretations.
This programme is designed not only to teach Chinese Ink Art but also to inspire a deep respect and understanding of cultural arts, encouraging students to explore and develop their own creative expressions within this venerable artistic tradition.
