Valerie Ng’s abstract paintings are a gestural expression of texture, mood and movement. Her oil on canvas works are created as a result of explorations in colour, light, depth and form. She is inspired by natural elements, hues and shapes in the environment and strives for a dynamic balance of energy and atmosphere through a unique transfer of marks in the action of painting. Having a keen interest in paper, her artworks include artists’ books, papier-mache, collage and assemblage.
