KIM NG (b. 1965) UNTITLED (89), 2012, Mixed media on paper

Kim Ng, the glam name of Ng Kim Peow, has impeccable art-training credentials and creative production, but all these seem to be overshadowed by his work at the Dasein Academy of Fine Art, which has produced several generations of hugely bankable award-winning artists. This work is from his Floated Land Series which touches on the intimate bond Man has with Nature. The work may be small but it involves several medium – watercolour, pencil, bitumen, collage and graphite powder with varnish. He received an MA (Design and Media Art) at the University of Westminster, London (1996-97) and MA By Project at the London Metropolitan University (2000-2002). He also did his teacher training at the Kensington and Chelsea College in London in 2000. This was after his BA (1st Hons) Fine Art, London Guildhall University (1992-1996) and Diploma, Fine Art, Kuala Lumpur College of Art (1986-1989). In London, he won 1st Prize in the Owen Rowley Award (1996) and the John Purcell Paper Award (1997). His first solo was at The Clay House in Malacca in 2000 titled Thought: A Process of Thinking; which was followed by Printing with Fire-prints on Ceramics, Glass and Paper (London Guildhall University, 2001), 1/1 (Wei-Ling’s Townhouse Gallery, Bangsar, 2004), Fact or Fiction (2006), An Idylic Space (2009) and In A Place of Wonder (Wei-Ling Gallery, Brickfields, 2014).
