Dawn Ng
Lives and works in Singapore | Born 1982
Dawn Ng is a multidisciplinary visual artist who works across a diverse range of mediums, motifs, and large-scale installations. Her practice investigates concepts of time, memory, nostalgia, and temporality. In her most significant and ongoing body of work, Into Air, Ng incorporates ice—the ultimate ephemeral material in the tropical climate of her native country—to articulate time’s shifts and nuances, through a series of paintings, films, photographic prints, light boxes, and performance. Often characterized by visual and emotive connections to landscape and geology, Ng’s work explores time’s transience through mark-making in a resplendence of color, texture, and detail.
Ng’s work has been exhibited in international major exhibitions, most recently at The 11th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art at Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA), Australia. She has held solo exhibitions and presentations in Singapore, South Korea, Australia, the UK, and the USA. Her works are in the collections of Singapore Art Museum, Singapore; Singapore Land Group; Tumurun Museum, Indonesia; UBS Art Collection, Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA), Australia, amongst other notable collections.
