HART HAUS is pleased to present “and i love you dearly”, a solo exhibition by Michael Rikio Ming Hee Ho to conclude his international artist residency at HART HAUS over the period of February 2026 till date. The exhibition features a compelling new body of work that intricately weaves together poetry, text, and painting, reimagining the canvas as a site to examine nostalgia, memory, and identity.

Across the exhibition, Ho approaches landscapes where beauty carries both the weight of memory and the architecture of romantic self-fiction. Ho considers how once-familiar places survive in the mind, using text and imagery as landscape, slowly altered by time, displacement, and the distortions of nostalgia. His phrases and text-elements read like a private archive of "notes to self"— fragments “typed into your phone after a long call with your parents”, where comfort, anxiety, and a delusional kind of whimsy begin speaking in the same voice. His recurring practice invites viewers to observe how environments once familiar persist within the mind shift under the pressure of time, displacement, and the internal necessity of remembering.
