Ng Joon Kiat is a painter who refers to archives of disciplines such as geography, microscopic science, history, cartography and city-planning to inform his practice. His works push painting in explorations of the imaginary and invisible complexities of maps of cities and earth spaces.

Maps are manifest with past and present political, cultural, social and economic negotiations. The use of maps in Ng’s works can be seen as a questioning of a set of relations. Ng’s works is also in part an interrogation for the position of painting in contemporary art, and a critical engagement with the language of abstraction.
