Valerie Ng
Largely self-taught, Valerie has always enjoyed painting and creating art and craft pieces. However, she took up painting seriously in 2002 after attending the Alternative Foundation in Fine Art at The Slade Summer School, The Slade School of Fine Art, University College of London.
Her medium is mostly oil or acrylic on canvas/paper. Paintings in an abstract expressionist style. They are created as a result of her explorations in colour, form, texture, depth, mood and movement on a surface. She also finds inspiration in shapes and patterns around her be it from objects, materials, nature, culture or architecture.
Her works have been exhibited at the United Overseas Bank (UOB) Painting of the Year 2004 Exhibition where she won the First Prize in the Abstract medium category, at Art Singapore, the Wetterling Teo Gallery, instinc and Jendela Gallery in 2005, The Summer Foundation Group Show at The Slade, London, 2002 and a solo exhibition 'Distractions' held at Emerald Hill, 2004.
Her paintings can be found in corporate and private collections in Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand, the UK, the USA, Mexico and Germany. |
