Exhibition Preface

Ng Chung enjoys painting bottles; wine bottles are his self-portraits.

As the depressing emotions getting eliminated completely inside Ng Chung’s mind, wine bottles in Ng Chung’s painting starting to be softened through dissolution, with all stiffness and sharpness of ceramics or glasses fading away. On the one hand, it is no longer the daily containers that the wine bottles represent to Ng Chung, instead the art contains Ng Chung’s personal world with his facial expressions, form and emotions. From another perspective, Ng Chung is not any more the Ng Chung in daily entanglement, instead the pure Ng Chung with his solitude, reservedness, humor and revel under the wine bottles. Repeatedly modifying, scratching and smearing Ng Chung did on the canvas, it is never because of the reason that he cannot grasp the natural form of wine bottles, he in fact breaks the tough conceptual shells that are given to the bottles then wait and welcome the appearance of wine bottles phonologically, where the harmony of the world and individual lays behind sensuous in all its glory.
