DONNA ONG
Donna
Ong is an instillation artist from singapore. she has displayed her artwork in
singapore and
internationally, for example, Jakarta Biennale in 2009, Kwandu Biennale in
2008, the inaugural Singapore Biennale in 2007 and Moscow Biennale of Art in
2014. she was inspired by her father who was an artist himself when she was
growing up. she only decided that being an artist was the right path for her
half way through her degree of studying architecture, then, she changed her
degree and pursued her career as an artist. Donna Ong was also recognized for
her artistic achievements by the Singapore Government and she also won the
people’s choice award for the president’s young talent competition.
The
type of concept she goes for is realistic art works that are visually arresting
and provoking. Her aim when displaying her art work is to let the audience
escape into it and encounter different ideas, emotions and experience. She
wants to seduce her audience with beauty, wonder and awe so they would be more
interested in her instillations and will be motivated to discover the more
subtle ideas and thoughts she has hidden behind the seductive façade.
