Hong Kong
Doris Ng is an artist focused on the dynamic realm of identity politics, using paintings and performative installations. Her large-scale paintings challenge conventional notions of identity through bold colours, intricate brushwork, and thematic exploration of class, desire, and cultural heritage. Ng's performative installations incorporate intimate materials like building blocks and bubblegum, creating a relatable connection with the audience, also prompting viewers to deeply contemplate their own experiences and perspectives. This approach fosters a heightened level of engagement with the intricate themes of identity, both on a personal and collective level.
