Annysa NgAnnysa Ng's striking images in black and white look at ideas of her cultural heritage and identity. She was born in Hong Kong and currently resides in New York so her works explicitly portray the influences of the history of the East and the West. As well as ideas of colonialism with the mix of the Asian and European dress, there is the loss of identity of the individuals with their blacked out faces. As an Asian woman there are also underlying ideas of womens role and position in male dominated societies. This will be the first time that she is exhibiting in the UK.Education: Fine Arts Major, Staatliche Akademie der Bildenen Kunste in Stuttgart, Germany, 2005 Visualisation in Computer Art, Hong Kong Arts Centre, Hong Kong, 2001 Mr Maytin Kan, Hong Kong, specialised in watercolour painting under the instruction of the master watercolourist, 1995 First Institute of Arts & Design College, Hong Kong, 1988 Awards: Fellowship for Mural Workshop, National Academy Museum and School of Fine Arts, New York, USA, 2007 Residency: Egon Schiele Art Centrum, Cesky Krumlov, Czech Republic Exhibitions: 2008: group exhibit, Dare to Struggle, Dare to Win: Emerging Artists from the Chinese Diaspora, Deutdche Bank, New York, USA 2008: group exhibit, The 27th Arts Collection, Nichigenten, Osaka Municipal Arts Museum, Japan 2008: group exhibit, Mushroom Art, Yoo Art Space, Seoul, Korea 2007: solo exhibit, Weave a Maze, Economist Gallery, Hong Kong 2007: group exhibit, Black Milk, Vanina Holasek Gallery, SCOPE Basel, Switzerland 2007: group exhibit, Asian Contemporary Art Fair, Booth: HNC Culture/Beijing, Pier 92, New York, USA 2007: group exhibit, Passport to the Arts-New Yorker magazine, Vanina Holasek Gallery, New York, USA 2007: group exhibit, Young Artists from New York 2007, Egon Schiele Art Centrum, Cesky Krumlov, Czech Republic 2007: group exhibit, Spotlight HK, the Arts House at the Old Parliament House, Singapore 2006: solo exhibit, Toupee, Shin Choi Sore, New York, USA 2006: solo exhibit, Annysa Ng, Walter Wickiser Gallery, New York, USA 2006: group exhibit, Who is that Girl, Vanina Holasek Gallery, New York, USA 2006: group exhibit, Pipe Lines, Nars Foundation Studio Space #2, Brooklyn, USA 2006: group exhibit, Medium One, Emergency Arts, New York, USA 2005: solo exhibit, Love & Fear, Holasek Weir Gallery, New York, USA 2005: group exhibit, Women's Voice, GEDOK, e.V., Stuttgart, Germany 2005: group exhibit, Daily Dialogue, Walter Wickiser Gallery, New York, USA 2005: group exhibit, Postcards from the Edge, Robert Millar Gallery, New York, USA 2005: group exhibit, Witch Hunt, Richard Shack Gallery of the Art Center, FL, USA 2005: group exhibit, The 24th Arts Collection, Nichigenten, Osaka Municipal Arts Museum, Japan 2004: group exhibit, Chateâu Marianne, Galerie Michael Sturm, Stuttgart, Germany 2001: group exhibit, The 7th Annual Artist Abroad Exhibition, Exhibition Gallery, Hong Kong City Hall 2001: group exhibit, The 20th Arts Collection NICHIGENTEN, Osaka Municipal Arts Museum, Japan 2001: group exhibit, Samaritan Fund Raising Exhibition, Chinese Tee Club, Hong Kong 2001: group exhibit, Forward + Rewind = Art, Gallery Meli Melo, Hong Kong 2000: group exhibit, The 14th International Watercolour Exhibition of China, Shanghai, China 2000: group exhibit, The 19th Arts Collection NICHIGENTEN, Osaka Municipal Arts Museum, Japan 2000: group exhibit, Blue is Blue, Exhibition Hall, City Hall Low Block, Hong Kong 2000: group exhibit, The XXVIII Federation Internations Des Societes D'Amateurs D'Exlibris Congress, Boston Public Library, MA 2000: group exhibit, Reflections, Exhibition Gallery, Hong Kong City Hall High Block, Hong Kong 1999: group exhibit, The 9th Chinese National Art Exhibition, China Art Gallery, Beijing, China 1999: group exhibit, Entering into 21st century, Greeting year 200 exhibition on Exlibris, Engraving and Frottage, Exhibition Gallery, Hong Kong Cultural Center, Hong Kong 1999: group exhibit, The 18th Arts Collection, NICHIGENTEN, Osaka Municipal Arts Museum, Japan 1999: group exhibit, Ours are not still life, Hong Kong Visual Arts Center 1998: group exhibit, 98 S.Z.
