Tao received his Master’s degree (2022) and Bachelor’s degree (2018) in Fine Arts from The Chinese University of Hong Kong. During his studies, he studied and exchanged in Beijing and Taiwan. His major exhibitions include “Racing in HK City”, a Shatin Racecourse commissioned creative project, “Market-go-around, Duo Solo Exhibition of Rosanna Li and Jacky Tao, SC Gallery 2023” and “ISOLATION – Tao Hoi Chuen Solo Exhibition in Art Basel 2022”.

Tao’s medium of creation is Gongbi painting, and he studies three-dimensional space and visual imaging transformed into the graphic effects of traditional linear language. Cityscapes and horse races are among his favorite subjects, and his visual research draws on the space of traditional landscape paintings to deform and reassemble different viewpoints in a flexible compositional way, depicting the thickness of the living world in the form of “composite space”.
