Ivan David Ng is an artist from Singapore, presently based in the US. His practice investigates what it means to exist as human, wedged between the celestial and terrestrial, recognizing our experiential and historical ties to land and sky. Making work informed by a painter’s sensibilities, he is interested in ideas surrounding provenance of things/images and the act of making as a means of knowing. He received his BFA in Painting from the Maryland Institute College of Art and has exhibited in Singapore, the US and South Korea. He received the Gold Award (Established Artist Category) in the 39th UOB Painting of the Year in 2020 and worked on projects with Louis Vuitton, Singapore Land Group and Christian Liaigre. Ivan is married to Jen (who’s still out of his league) and dad to two daughters N and Z. They have one foot in Columbus, Ohio and one foot in Singapore currently. In his free time, Ivan enjoys fried chicken and the company of his friends.
