About the Artist

 

Turen (土人), also known as Nick Ng, embarked on his artistic journey as a theater practitioner and educator before rediscovering his passion for ceramics amid the challenges of COVID-19. With a background in visual arts education, he continuously explores avenues for artistic expression. In the fast-paced urban environment and uncertain times, ceramics has become his sanctuary, offering a sense of tranquility and inner peace. Ceramics is more than just an art form; it is a form of meditation, a path to finding inner harmony. In Chinese, 陶Tao means “ceramics” and 道Dao means “the way,” symbolizing Turen's quest for personal growth and enlightenment through the practice of ceramics.
