He received his Master of Fine Arts from the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2008 and Bachelor of Arts (major in Fine Arts) in 2005. As well as working part-time as a visual arts teacher at the HKICC Lee Shau Kee School of Creativity, Hin is also forging a reputation in Hong Kong as an independent curator and writer. In daily life, he spends most of the time in art creation and widely attends exhibitions over Hong Kong. In his art, he frequently employs readymade social symbols and context, to reconstruct the ordinary comprehension of “reading”, for revelation of emotions towards different people, things and issues. He was the winner of the “Hong Kong Contemporary Art Biennial Awards 2009” and the finalist in the Philippe Charriol Foundation Art Competition 2005. Collectors of his art include Hong Kong Museum of Art, Amelia Johnson Contemporary and Private Collections (The United States, Australia, Singapore and Hong Kong).

Bodies, 2011
Abandoned wooden objects, LED lightboxes and C-print photos
Dimension variable
-
Extract
from nature. Serve for different activities of human beings. Undergo
depreciation. Turn into waste. Go back to landfill, to earth. This is an
inevitable end of trees when being materials. Without branches, leaves
and deep roots, they remain limbs, like bodies, undergoing changes of
environment, function and appearances.
As
the natural materials earliest use in human history, wood own gentle
brown as soil. It doesn’t please our eyes but tenderly approaches us
exclusive of too much aggression. However, under the tactics of human
civilization, the characteristics of wood are concealed by vivid
outlook. Trees are massively cut down and transformed into furniture,
tools, buildings, etc.
I
collect various wooden objects from ruins and garbage areas. Taking
photos there show the entire pictures of what I have seen. For tracing
the original limbs and grain of them, like bodies, I remove all their
color and non-wooden parts.
Comment: It is quite impossible to compare Ho Sin Tung's and his work together due to the time restriction, word limitation. I strongly feel the impossibility when I believe Ho Sin Tung create those art work "passively". Then what's the point to do compare?
