何 紀 嵐 Eric Ho (He Jilan)

Inspired at an early age by his father He Baili, the renowned Chinese painter of the Lingnan School. Born in Hong Kong and then moved to Canada in the 80s, Eric received his Bachelor degree with a specialised honour in Fine Arts from York University (Ontario, Canada) in 1997. In 2003, he obtained his Master degree in Design Management from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Eric has explored his art with different mediums such as oil painting, watercolors, photography, sculpting, printmaking, Chinese ink painting and Chinese calligraphy. Born into the Eastern culture, but raised in a Western environment, his creative artworks also reflect this mixed cultural influence and has been collected by overseas organisations and collectors alike. His artworks produced in Hong Kong have continued this artistic conception. By using Chinese ink painting skills to represent the Yin and the Yang, two opposing principles in nature, Eric draws on his understandings of Chinese philosophy together with modern art and Chinese calligraphy and reflects them with his own unique style and interpretations.

Indeed, Eric’s artistic uniqueness caught the public’s eyes and his paintings are highly sought after by international art collectors through prestigious fine art auctions such as Christie’s, Ravenel International Art Group and Poly Auction. 

Eric has been an active member in the art industry with over 20 years experience in corporate marketing, design and branding. Eric is also the founder for Gallery Article, Ohoconcept Fine Art, Ink Occasions and Art Bliss Coalition. Throughout his involvement, Eric has organised numerous exhibitions for himself and many different artists globally.

何紀嵐生於香港，成長在藝術之家，受其父何百里先生薰陶，藝術觸覺敏鋭。1997 年獲加拿大安大略省約克大學純藝術榮譽學士；1998 年獲多倫多辛力加學院設計文憑及加拿大認可註冊設計師。作品以極簡主義演繹東方哲理，簡潔利落。2000 年回港，於2003 年獲香港理工大學設計管理碩士，並積極參與藝術創作。他的畫作充滿水墨元素，注入黑白主調，襯托出虛與實，有與無之陰陽相對而相生的存在關係，反映生活進退動靜的節奏。近年來所創《遊絲墨舞》《絲路行中》《板塊》《飛絮》《香港格式》和《深黑印象》 水墨系列，特顯剛柔對比，透視水墨全新動感。

事實上, 何紀嵐的獨特繪畫風格吸引了很多藝術愛好者的目光, 他的畫作經常出現在國際藝術拍賣會上, 如佳士得, 羅芙奧藝術集團和保利拍賣等, 因而吸引了世界各地的藝術收藏者的購藏，故其作品多為私人訂藏。

何紀嵐一直活耀於香港藝術圈，在企業營銷、設計以及品牌形象方面擁有超過20多年的經驗。多年來為自己和世界各地許多藝術家組織了不同類型的展覽。繼「雅品畫廊」後，設「思無為軒」「水墨弄堂」和「遊藝堂」藝術平台積極推展水墨藝術。現為海外中國美術家協會理事，及香港美協會員。
