Based in Hamburg and Singapore, Jay Ho (b.1997) graduated with a Degree in Fine Art from the University of East London and is currently pursuing an M.F.A. Painting/Drawing at HFBK Hamburg.

He is interested in the scale of life, natural phenomena, and inquiries into mankind and nature. His making process doubles up as a deeper manifestation of spiritual inquiry in his identity.

Jay has also co-founded an artist collective Paradise Now, an experimental multidisciplinary project grounded on their friendships and personal stories.
