Houxo Que is also the organizer of “HUOVA”, a live paint showcase, and has had fourteen artists participate in the organization.

what is HUOVA :
HUOVA is a showcase highlighting on live painting which started in 2006.
An image is generated on blank walls along to synchronizing sounds, while facing the projected 20 minute time-limit. With tensity in the air, the mural instantly changes its
look, heating up the atmosphere. The bewildering development symbolizes the city of Tokyo, creating an expression only obtainable in that moment.

HUOVA主賓。まるで花をいけるようにモチーフの魂と生命力を画面にいけてしまう美術家。モチーフは選択、除去、強調されてQueの抱く幻想へと姿を変えます。蛍光塗料を用いて自在に描かれる作品は艶めいた光を放ち狂おしく美しい。
展示会やライブペイント、壁画制作、ブランドとのコラボレーションなど様々な形で作品を発表。更にライブペイント主体のショウケース”HUOVA”のプロデュースやギャラリーREANのキュレーションなど、その活動は多彩。ブラックライトを使ったインスタレーション作品「day and night」はBRUTUSや+81、rtrなどのメディアで紹介され反響を呼んでいる。"
