Michael Rikio Ming Hee Ho (マイケル・リキオ・ミング・ヒー・ホー, born August 1, 1996) is an American conceptual artist. Ho was born in Hilo, Hawaii and grew up in Waimea, Hawaii County, Hawaii. He graduated from UCLA School of the Arts and Architecture in 2018 and lives and works in Tokyo, Japan.
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]
He is represented by Kotaro Nukaga in Japan.[11]
