Jiali Gallery is pleased to present Cindy Ng Sio Ieng Solo exhibition.
Cindy Ng Sio leng is an ink painter, photographer, and video artist. Born in 1966 in Macao, she relocated to Taiwan from 1997 to 2006. She now lives and works in Beijing.
She has won several awards for her ink/water video installations including the 10th “V-art” International video-art Festival (Italy).
Her major exhibitions include solo exhibitions at Today Art Museum (2007 Beijing, China), Seattle Art Museum ( 2007, U.S.A), 2005 Ju Ming Museum (Taiwan), The Taipa Houses – Museum (2004 Macao), 1996 Taipei Fine Arts Museum (Taiwan).
She has participated in major group exhibitions including Flower of Chaos video art exhibition Veneto Videoart Archive (2010, Italy), The 6th Annual Chinese Making Waves Contemporary Art Exhibition (Taiwan, 2009), Athens Video Art Festival (2009, Greece).
Cindy’s works expand painting, paper, explore concept of ink in motion. The flow of ink over the canvas and water creates symmetry between the manipulated movement in her paintings and their natural shifting into mountains and valleys. The abstract character of shifting shapes meld together and separate again to simulate a nature scape.
Cindy Ng Sio Ieng (Born in Macau, lives and works in Beijing) has contributed a rich and varied body of work to the genre, widening and updating the dialogue about this medium. In a daring yet visually compelling way, she revives this respected mode of expression, bridging the gap between tradition and contemporaneity and between aesthetic and conceptual needs. By doing so, she has breathed new life into a medium that might otherwise be considered ossified or traditional.
