Ho is best known for his text-based works that are reminiscent of Jenny Holzer and Lawrence Weiner.[1] Many of the phrases that Ho uses are quoted from the Internet and social media,[2] a language unique to Generation Z.[3][4] In 2022, ARTnews, included Ho in their list for "30 artists under 35".[5] Acclaimed gallerist Pearl Lam, shared with Artnet that Ho's "painting and sculptural practice semantically responds to capturing the tone of a post social-media generation and exploring the theme of internalized masochism and the way that this can be communicated linguistically."[6] Ho studied at University of California, Los Angeles with artists Barbara Kruger, Lari Pittman, Adrian Wong, Catherine Opie, and Adrian Saxe.[7]
His work has been exhibited at the Sezon Museum of Modern Art,[8] Watarium Museum, Osaka Kansai International Art Festival,[9] and Kotaro Nukaga.[10]
