Selected by the Sunday Times in 2008 as one of the top ten contemporary artists to watch, Annysa Ng’s work often demonstrates a unique interaction with history, literature and psychology through remarkable technical expertise and iconic visual aesthetics. The featureless faces and the East -West costume on the silhouette figures in her painting have always been the trademarks of her art.
Ng now lives and works in New York, USA.
Ng explored topics of identity and reality as perceived through various states of consciousness in her works. The iconic featureless faces of the figures are specifically tied to the identity and the history of Hong Kong. Combining period European fashion with traditional Chinese costume, her works do not merely illustrate the coexistence of Eastern and Western cultures in Hong Kong; they also emphasise the paradox of its void identity.
