Well known for her ubiquitous Walter series [7] that garnered attention for its controversial guerilla content and form, the work was acquired into the permanent collection of the Singapore Art Museum, included in Open Sea at the 2015 Musée d'art contemporain de Lyon[8] which explored the contemporary Art scene of Southeast Asia. In 2019, the artist was commissioned to fill a wing of the Art Science Museum for their Floating Utopias exhibition.[9]
In 2016 Ng was commissioned by the Fondation d'enterprise Hermes to inaugurate their Singapore flagship's art gallery with a solo installation, How to Disappear into a Rainbow as the store reopened in Liat Towers, Singapore.[10][11] Most recently the artist opened a commissioned solo at the Asian Civilisations Museum[12] in 2020.
Dawn Ng majored in Journalism and Studio Art at Georgetown University in Washington D.C., and the Slade School of Fine Art in London. She is represented by Sullivan+Strumpf, Singapore.[13]
