What does familiarity mean? How important is the memory of the past? That which has changed with age and time? Kim Ng\u2019s works suggest a way in assessing the daily occurrences within the modern world.<\/p>\n<p>He says:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cArt has become, above all a means of communication through symbols, a \u2018synthesis\u2019 of visual forms, carrying within them memories, feelings and ideas.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This series of works are an intimate look at the passing of time through the use of colour, forms, and texture which reflect the real and the unreal.<\/p>\n<p>What does familiarity mean? How important is the memory of the past? That which has changed with age and time? Kim Ng\u2019s works suggest a way in assessing the daily occurrences within the modern world.<\/p>\n<p>Kim Ng\u2019s oeuvre has always been concerned with the environment and nature. He explores the details within nature, using images and objects from the real world as a source.<\/p>\n<p>In an attempt to sustain the physical experience, he records the image through the situation he encounters. The captured moment frozen in time has been re-examined, manipulated and transformed into a visual stimulus, to evoke a sense of familiarity.<\/p>\n<p>Through investigating and evaluating the phenomenon of our fast changing society, his experience is recorded through represented images. Kim Ng combines figurative and abstract forms, presenting the \u2018objective images in a subjective way\u2019. To understand Kim Ng\u2019s artworks, one should not focus too much on the way he has constructed the visual effect, but rather on how he sees the world and how he associates himself with the complexity of the society and environment in which he lives and thrives.<\/p>\n<p>His work reflects the relation between the present and the absent, a record of what exists and what is void, laid contradictory within the work; all under the presence of time. Reality and imagination merge into one; the real and reconstructed exist at the same time, leaving the viewer in doubt about the truth of the interpretation of the experience.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>An exhibition not to be missed, \u2018Fact or Fiction\u2019 runs at Wei-Ling Gallery from 4th December-28th December 2006.Wei-Ling Gallery is located at 8,Jalan Scott,Brickfields,K.L. and is open Mon-Fri,12pm-7pm,Weekends by appointment only (Call 0178877216 for details).
