Annysa Ng is a New York-based, Hong Kong-born artist. She studied fine art at Staatliche Akademie der Bildenen Künste in Germany and School of Visual Arts in New York.
Utilizing the structural and metaphoric potential of found objects, Ng creates assemblages and installation that explore her interest in perception, unconscious, and the reality as perceived through various states of consciousness.
In the 2-dimensional works, her intricate ink drawings of Elizabethan collars are rendered in such a precise, obsessive way, that one can feel its chokehold, yet the dots she uses to form the collar are extremely subtle and delicate. Clothed in combinations of Elizabethan collars and traditional Chinese costumes, Ng’s featureless silhouetted faces devoid of emotion and character are reference not merely a combination of cultures take place in Hong Kong, but specifies the paradox of constructing void identity.
She was awarded Manhattan Community Arts Fund, 2009/10 Fellowship recipient from the Urban Artist Initiative/NYC, Osaka Governor Prize by Nippon Modern Fine Arts Association, Fellowship at the National Academy Museum and School in NYC, and Residency at Egon Schiele Art Centrum in Czech Republic. Ng’s works have been exhibited internationally including the SCOPE art fair in Basel, 'Young Artists from New York 2007' at the Egon Schiele Art Centrum in the Czech Republic, Asian Contemporary Art Fair in New York, the Arts Collection NICHIGENTEN at Osaka Municipal Arts Museum in Japan, and The 9th Chinese National Art Exhibition in Beijing. Her work has been collected by Deutsche Bank, the Stuttgart City Library, Mandarin Oriental Hotel and Georg v. Holtzbrinck GmbH & Co.KG, Germany. In 2008, she was named one of the Ten Talents to Watch by the London Times.
