Jason Ho’s artistic journey merges his distinguished career as a chartered Architect (ARB/RIBA) with his passion for art. His work explores the intersection of architecture and nature, delving into themes of space, structure, and the delicate balance between the built environment and the natural world.
Jason Ho’s artistic development was shaped by over ten years of studies and stays in Europe, where he immersed himself in the continent’s rich architectural and cultural heritage. modernism of Bauhaus, the ornamental intricacy of Art Nouveau, and the elegant symmetry of Art Deco. The influence of key figures such as Giacomo Balla, Piet Mondrian, and Le Corbusier also became fundamental to his work, inspiring him to merge formal precision with a passion for spatial harmony. Through these years of study and experience, Jason developed a distinctive voice in both architecture and art, informed by a deep understanding of European traditions yet open to innovation.
For Jason, the pursuit of art is akin to the Asian philosophy of mastery—a journey where the perfection of craft is not just an aspiration but a lifelong commitment. His approach to art is rooted in the same reverence for technique and discipline that characterizes many traditional Asian practices, where mastery is cultivated through continuous, focused effort. Just as an artisan hones their craft over time, Jason’s meticulous attention to every gradient, every line, and every detail reflects his belief that mastery is foundational to artistic expression. His architectural training, grounded in precision and technical prowess, merges seamlessly with this philosophy, driving him to treat each piece of artwork as a delicate construction—a fusion of thought, skill, and execution that demands both technical exactitude and creative exploration. This philosophy of mastery underpins his entire artistic process, combining disciplined technique with personal expression.
Jason Ho’s academic foundation is rooted in his studies at prestigious institutions like Cambridge University and University College London, where he earned a Master and Bachelor of Architecture with Distinction and First Class Honors. His exceptional achievements were further recognized through prestigious accolades, including the Bartlett Medal and the Fitzroy Robinson Drawing Prize, affirming his position as a leading figure in both architecture and art.
This rigorous academic background, marked by technical excellence, laid the groundwork for his artistic career. Ho’s creations navigate the spaces between personal history, physical environments, and cultural memory, offering a poignant commentary on contemporary life. Exhibited in galleries and art fairs across Hong Kong, Miami, Dubai, and Paris, his art resonates globally, transcending traditional boundaries of architecture to explore the deeper emotional and social relevance of space.
