Carol Ho – [art]attack 15

Carol Ho, born in Hong Kong. Immigrated to Canada with her family in 1991. Studied at University of Calgary, major in drawing, painting and printmaking.

She received her Bachelor degree in Fine Arts in 1999. In 2001 she earned her M.A. degree from Royal College of Art, England.

After graduated she had showed her works in Calgary (Canada), Red Deer (Canada), London (England), Osaka (Japan) and Berlin (Germany). Now works and lives in Hong Kong.

The sources of Carol Ho’s works ranged from pictures on fashion magazines, cookbooks, graphic design to Japanese manga. Instead of making an accurate reproduction of those visual materials, she is more interested in fusing up and re-arranges all these various patterns, lines, shapes and to distort recognizable images with individual style, to show viewers a rich plural mixture of pictorial structure on paper and canvas. The images in Carol’s works are confusing or disturbing somehow, which she deliberately chose to provoke and manipulate viewers to a point of uncertainly.

香港出生，1991年隨家人移民加拿大。1999年於卡加里大學畢業，主修油畫,繪畫及版畫。1999-2001年在英國倫敦皇家美術學院攻讀，獲純美術碩士學位。畢業後作品曾在加拿大、英國、日本及德國展出。現居香港。

她的創作參考資料源自大眾印刷媒體：時裝雜誌、烹飪書籍的圖片、平面設計、以及日本漫畫。與其仿照原圖複製，她以個人化的風格重新融合和編排線條、圖案及事物；向觀眾顯示多元混合的畫面結構。並故意選用令人感到困惑的影像，來達到操控觀眾對作品解讀的目的。
