Steamboat Art Museum hosts Quang Ho Art Exhibition open till April 14

Debbie — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 06:02:35 +0000

Colorado artist Quang Ho will be on exhibit starting December 2, 2010. The exhibit will be open through April 14, 2012.

Ho’s illustration works have been featured in the Illustrators Annual and exhibited at the Museum of American Illustrations and the Communication Arts Illustrations Annual.

Working mostly in oils and occasionally watercolor and pastels, Ho’s subject matter ranges from still-life, landscapes, interiors, and dancers, to figuratives. “Subject matter is not really important to me. I can find visual excitement all around me as well as on the canvas – from a knot on a tree, graceful limp of a flower wilting, to a juxtaposition of a few simple shapes and colors…inspirations are inexhaustible” Ho told the International Museum of Contemporary Masters of Fine Art.
