Scenes is a series of paintings that stage ambiguous moments drawn from contemporary visual culture. Sourced from online images, advertisements, and everyday design, each work presents a spare mis-en-scène—a setting, a central figure, and an animal—inviting open-ended narratives. The animal often meets the viewer’s gaze, quietly implicating their presence. Through these pared-down compositions, Simon Ng offers layered reflections on contemporary life and the act of looking.
