Cross‑pollinating drawing and painting with new media, Ivan David Ng’s practice unfolds through abstract paintings, experimental animation and technology‑assisted performance. Engaging the contested origin stories of the Hakka “Guest People,” he remixes source material gathered from sky and body, cycling through excavation and burial as a means of speculation, retrieval and interference. He received his MFA in Drawing and Painting from The Ohio State University with research at the Advanced Computing Center for the Arts & Design and his BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art. He attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture and was awarded the Gold Award in the UOB Painting of the Year in 2020, one of the most recognized art accolades in Southeast Asia. His recent exhibition history include Chilli Art Projects in London (2024), Long Story Short in New York City (2024), Oolong Gallery in San Diego (2025), Appetite in Singapore (2025), Roots and Culture Contemporary Art Center in Chicago (2026) and the New Media Caucus National Symposium in Mesa (2026). His work has been published in New American Paintings and Art & Market and he has also worked on projects with Louis Vuitton, Uber Technologies Inc and Singapore Land Group.
