Ho's early style was mainly surrealist, rendering his early works rather mysterious and spectacular. However, he had already begun exploring geometric shapes in his work during this period. After moving to Milan, he established his individual use of abstract and geometric shapes, focusing on the essence of painting from basic elements: points, lines, planes, and color blocks. With these elements, he studied the overall composition to develop his unique abstract style.
Influenced by Western artistic concepts such as hard-edge abstraction, Ho Kan integrates Eastern calligraphy and the art of seal carving with a minimalist yet poetic visual language to develop his distinctive, Eastern lyrical abstraction. He starts with elemental points, and from them, he creates his philosophy about the arrangement of the image, validating the existence of each element. Ho Kan further applies the method of reduction to his abstract art, constructing a more encompassing abstract world that responds to the Eastern philosophical idea that all things are mutually embracing and complementing.
