New Blood Art Commentary

See Rosalyn Ng in her studio
Rosalyn Ng aims to depict the nascent – the burgeoning, budding, and fledgling of amorphous feelings and emotions. Translating them into ‘solid’ form, her drawings are depictions of spontaneous movements, both our wild thrashings and furtive shifts. Her work recalls Cy Twombly and Cecily Brown in their often pastel-influenced colour palettes, but especially their mixture of the dainty with the raw. Mystical silhouettes beckon in each piece, Ng using a mixture of media to explore forms as they come to fruition. Never cemented as an ideal or instantly recognisable shape, her unique style of mark-making explores what it’s like to yearn for certainty, the lack of which is what often invigorates life. 

Artist Statement

My paintings hugely portray and translate nascent emotions into expressions. While I am involved in this active process, my purpose fundamentally lies, in inspiring the viewers to capture the multidimensional layers juxtaposed under bold colours and manifold textures. My paintings express spontaneous movement of forms with a natural balance of imaginaire, exploring different techniques and creating textures. 

My practice is constantly experiencing yearning in association with the exploration of freedom I allow myself to embrace during the process and looking into the ideal. The ideal forms in which I desire, very often contradict myself during the process of making, which is always accompanied by joy and frustration at the same time. Where I started to rethink about my beliefs, fears, and desires.
