On view by appointment at AB NY Gallery in East Hampton Village through August 20

AB NY Gallery is pleased to present a debut solo exhibition of Peter Ngo. Born in 1980 and raised in East Hampton, Ngo knew from an early age that he wanted to be involved with fashion and art. His journey began in 2000 by being accepted to study at the acclaimed Ivy of Culture, FIT, Fashion Institute of Technology, and further endorsed by the prestigious School of Visual Arts to pursue his creative practice. After completing both programs, Ngo worked in New York for John Varvatos and Zegna, styling some of the top artists, musicians, models, taste makers and celebrities, while pursuing fashion photography and painting, a creative outlet that has continued to the present. Through a singular focus and hard work, Ngo made his mark with a solo show at the legendary Elaine Benson Gallery that instantly put his work on the art map in 1998. With the work ethic of a tattoo artist, Ngo is one of the most respected artists on the east end, and spends hours perfecting his forms. His paintings often feature ethereal, mythic women floating amongst a wide array of imagery like plants, animals, spacial astronomical bodies, and wind energy turbines. Inspired by his own photography of striking strong women, and in the genre of art gods Edvard Munch, Genevieve Figgis, Alex Grey or Mati Klarwein, his fantasized figures appear to converse harmoniously in a majestic meadow of expressionistic gestures that both embrace and agitate his finely rendered surrealism. The show opens Sat Aug 10th and will continue until August 20th.
