Clint Ho
Biography
Clint is a Hong Kong base former construction worker turned artist . Many of his works are based on architectures not only because of his previous career, but also because of his childhood.
He lived a destitute life during his early years after a catastrophic fire destroyed more than 7,000 houses on Christmas evening in 1953. His family had no choise but to seek shelter in wherever they could, such as verandas of neighbouring buildings. This in turn gave him a special yearning for architecture and the desire for his own piece of real estate.
His practice also incorporates paintings and screen sculptures and his works explore the relationship between inner and outer appearance matters through architecture.
