Ivan David Ng is an artist from Singapore, presently based in the US. With a multi-approach art practice informed by a painter’s sensibilities, he is interested in ideas surrounding provenance of things, secrets hiding in plain sight and the act of making as a means of knowing.
He received his BFA in Painting from the Maryland Institute College of Art, Summa Cum Laude 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.
