Born
in Hong Kong in 1979, Stephanie Shut Yin Ho
began her training in oil painting at the age of 11.
With a great
passion in
fine art and culture, she chose to pursue her career in
the arts sector
after
graduating from the London School of Economics in 2001.
In proceeding years, She received further training in
fine arts and arts management, gaining an all-rounded
experience of the art industry. Currently living
in London, working as a
painter
full-time since 2007.
With an
interest in art history,
Stephanie’s works were inspired by the masters of
various art movements
over
the last hundreds of years. From primitive cave
drawings, symmetric
compositions
of religious icons in the early Renaissance, subtle
tonal arrangements
excelled
by the Impressionists, linearity and repetitiveness of
American pop
art, to the
vibrant colours favoured by many Chinese contemporary
artists.
Artist Statement by Stephanie Ho
In my new series of
paintings, I remain faithful to my
interest in observing human activities in the
metropolitan city life and my
fascination in the silhouette of the human figures.
Compared to my previous
collection, Still Frames, where
figures are distributed evenly across the canvas like
a pattern; the people in
my new works have shrunk in size, yet ironically, have
more details. The
introduction of shadows further enhanced the reality
of space, light and time.
Based mainly on photographs,
sometimes I paint what’s there,
and at other times I choreograph the picture. Appear
to be floating liberally
on the canvas, every single figure is carefully
positioned. Just like composing
a piece of music, with notations hanging across the
lines, creating enchanting
melodies, conversing with the spectators.
I want viewers to appreciate
the paintings initially through
the activity of looking, without interpretation. Stand
afar and squint your
eyes, get a feel of the picture through its colours
and composition, enjoy the
poetic movement of the crowds, then gradually drawn to
the details of the
figures.
Some walking aimlessly on
their own, some standing in deep
thoughts; Some being dragged along in the flow, some
taking a break to ponder;
Some waiting for their long lost friends; some sharing
a moment with their long
found love…
There are so much details
you could look at them forever and never quite see
everything. With your eyes slowly
following the diminishing perspectives, suddenly comes
the smell of oil paint…
before you realize, your nose will be touching the
canvas.
