Albert Ng, an artist from Hong Kong, creates compelling works in both photography and painting. Through his art, Ng delves into themes of memory, intimacy, and social structure, utilizing both found photos and his own archive. His distinctive approach involves tearing, cutting, and bending photos to construct a visual narrative in collage form, evoking a sense of brokenness and erasure. Ng’s work is characterized by its fragmentation, layered forms, and materiality.
Ng perceives images as a non-verbal language, presenting them in a poetic manner. Rather than viewing photography as absolute, he sees it as a fluid medium of image communication. His early works often revolve around the theme of long-distance heartbreak, with relationship photos reassembled to express the emotional alienation inherent in the digital age.
In his later works, Ng explores social structures, drawing inspiration from local authorities’ repeated efforts to paint over protest graffiti on walls. His experimentation began with materials collected from the streets, such as takeaway leaflets and merchant posters, which represent the voices of individuals standing against authority.
