TUTOR
HO Lok Chung
Ho Lok Chung, Dave was born and raised in Hong Kong, a full-time artist. Ho’s work is sculpture-orientated, mainly woodwork. He is often finding recycling woods and found objects as his main creative medium during the daily observation of his surroundings. Finding relationship between the environment and his own existence become his daily practice. He is seeking to correspond to the extreme speed of rhythm in the technology-developed city by the slow carving process of wood creation and attempting to portray the velocity of growth.
Ho’s art practice is crossing through fine art and community art from exhibitions to market fairs. He formed an art group in Hong Kong called “Chip Good Guy Studio” to service the community with his passion in art. He is also enthusiastic about art education and now teaching in several colleges and art spaces to promote woodworking craftsmanship and creative development.
