Ho Wing Wa, Ernest (b.1983, Guangdong, China) recently received his Bachelor of Fine Arts from The Chinese University of Hong Kong. Ho Wing Wa, Ernest uses printing as his artistic medium, emphasizing the expressive quality of brushstrokes, semi-abstract forms, and layered materiality. Inspired by Chinese calligraphy and painting, as well as his daily experiences, Ho explores the possibilities of calligraphic lines, spatial relationships, and the inherent properties of his materials. His artworks defy categorization, using lines to break down predetermined forms and spaces, resulting in abstract and ambiguous compositions. Ho's artworks are characterized by thin layers of paint that obscure yet intentionally reveal traces of the painting process, treating the act of painting as an integral part of the work, thereby introducing a sense of temporality. His painting process is not a linear execution of a preconceived sketch, but rather a responsive evolution to the moment's sensations. Ho's paintings attempt to explore the intricate and fragile relationship between humanity and the cosmic order of nature, utilizing lines to connect, separate, or construct these systems from which people cannot escape.
