Kong Ho began making art during his undergraduate studies, inspired by the quiet environment of his campus. Today, his art has evolved both with his large-scale mural paintings and with conceptual growth. His work is based on images derived from the combination of structured abstraction and realistic representation. By bringing parts of his representational images into clear focus, while submerging other parts beneath an undefined space, Kong is able to create a painting which is as much about the unpainted parts of the whole as it is about what he has chosen to represent obviously. 

Kong currently teaches Design I, Advanced Design, Drawing I, Figure Drawing, Advanced Drawing, Painting I, Watercolor Painting, Advanced Painting, Mural Design, Arts Awareness, and Art Appreciation (College in the High School Program).

Prior to coming to Pitt-Bradford to teach art, he taught art at the Hong Kong Baptist University for three years and at Western Texas College for a year. During his teaching years, Kong was also active as a producing artist and muralist. Kong founded the Hong Kong Mural Society in 1997, promoting mural art. Kong organized 36 granted public mural projects with 16 commissioned murals.

Kong is a Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program Fellow (2009-2010), an VSA arts Teaching Artist Fellow (2008-2009), a University Fellow of Hong Kong Baptist University (2006-2007), a Sasakawa Fellow (2005), and a University of Pittsburgh Faculty Diversity Fellow (2003). He has conducted studio-based research in painting in Taiwan and China, and qualitative research in mural painting and inclusive art education in Hong Kong and the States, exploring issues of Chinese jade art and philosophy, Buddhist art, community murals, and inclusive art education.

Kong has also participated in more than 90 international and regional exhibitions including 14 solo exhibitions. His works have been exhibited in the United States, Canada, Macedonia, Japan, China, Hong Kong, Thailand, and Malaysia.  Kong's art work has appeared in abundant publications including the recent 48-page artist's monograph The Beauty of Complexity: The Art of Kong Ho, January 2007.  In 2006 his article, "The Rise of Studio Practice Artists in Contemporary China," was published in Perspectives, Volume 7, No. 3, September issue, an on-line publication of the Overseas Young Chinese Forum.  Please visit Kong Ho's website to view some of his work.
