Paintings by Hong Kong based Artist-Wendy Ng

 

Wendy Ng is a talented artist with a diverse background, and while she was born in Hong Kong, she has also been educated and has worked extensively in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Belgium. She is currently based in Australia, but her roots and global experiences heavily influence her work.

Here's a summary of her artistic style and career:

• Style: Wendy Ng's paintings are a fascinating bridge between realism and abstract art. She paints in a traditional, realistic style, especially in her figurative work, but then takes it further by experimenting with patterns and textures. This creates a unique aesthetic where realistic subjects are interwoven with abstract elements.

• Medium and Technique: She primarily works with paint, but she is known for her mixed-media approach. She infuses her works with various patterns—including geometric shapes, floral ornaments, and even subtle pixels—that create a "patina" on the surface. Her color harmonies are often subtle and sophisticated, creating a balance between the structured and the illusionary.

• Subjects: Her most famous works are her female figurative portraits. She is known for capturing the beauty and femininity of her subjects, often with a focus on their captivating eyes and emotional expressions. She also incorporates elements from nature, such as leaves and flowers, to decorate the faces and bodies of the women she paints.

• Career: Ng has a background in graphic design and illustration from the advertising and publishing industries, which influences her ability to create visually compelling compositions. She studied Art and Design at The Wimbledon School of Art in the UK. Her work has been showcased in numerous exhibitions in galleries in Australia and at international art fairs, including the Affordable Art Fair in Hong Kong and Singapore.
