Kitty Ng (b.1999) is a painter born and raised in Hong Kong, currently based in her hometown. Holding a BFA in Painting from Rhode Island School of Design (2022), her work navigates the liminal spaces between cultures, languages, histories, and memories.
Her practice is an exploration of unfinished painting, inspired by the traditional Chinese technique 留白 (liu bai), or “leaving white.” Ng reinterprets this technique in a contemporary context to create a new visual language that resists the reduction of emotions and memories into simplifications. Through color, form, and composition, she creates spaces for ambiguity and deeper emotional resonance, honoring the inexpressible facets of memory and experience.
Her solo and duo exhibitions include The Record, the Double, and the Singular at Woaw Gallery in Hong Kong (2023), If We Were Together at Yard Gallery in Shanghai, China (2021), and To Build a Playground of Intimacy at Unitled Space (now Acentric Space) in Shanghai, China (2021).
