Ho Kan (Huo Hsueh-Kang, born 23 July 1932 in Nanjing) is a Chinese contemporary visual artist who played a major role in the shift of Chinese painting toward abstraction in the twentieth century. He co-founded the Ton Fan Group in Taipei, one of the earliest abstract art movements in China, together with Hsiao Chin, Li Yuan-chia and Wu Haou.
Chinese painting revived only partly after Stalin's death in 1953 and the Hundred Flowers Campaign, then fell into dormancy during the Cultural Revolution. Deng Xiaoping's reforms around 1979 brought a more favourable period. Ho Kan lived in Taiwan and Europe, beginning with a stay in Italy, and followed closely the developments of modern art.
His work centres on emptiness: fields of uniform colour, silk-like in texture, on which geometric signs emerge. Circles, especially in yellow, are his most sought-after motifs. An oil on canvas, Abstract Composition (1967), sold at Sotheby's Hong Kong in 2021 for 149,974 euros, before auction fees. His works are held in museums in Taipei, Taichung and Barcelona, and much of his output remains at the National Museum of History in Taipei.
