INSIDE THE ARTIST'S MIND

Daniel Ng's paintings are reflections of urban life. He is fascinated by views of everyday living.

The subjects of his paintings are an assembly of modern décor and urban environments. The unique perspectives are enhanced as a result of curved lines and foreshortened proportions. Each focal point is illustrated with movement and flow, creating dynamic geometric patterns on his compositions. Bright and rich acrylic colors are utilized on canvas giving the subjects life and clarity.

As you view Daniel's paintings you will notice a progression in perspective. The composition of line and proportion are pushed to the limits of distortion. The images resemble a fisheye view. As a result, the observer is drawn into the painting by this illusion of space. Daniel is influenced by the modern masters, Picasso, Matisse, Van Gogh, Gauguin and Chagall.
