Born 1947 in Mainland China, Kwok Man Ho, alias “Frog King”, received his art training at the Fine Art Grantham College of Education Hong Kong (1967-1970), and furthered his studies in the extramural courses of the Chinese University and the University of Hong Kong (1968-1973). He also pursued overseas studies at the Art Students League of New York (1980-1984).
