Lulu NGIE 倪鷺露
BIOGRAPHY 1972 Born in Hong Kong 2006 Hong Kong Art School Currently lives and works in Hong Kong Lulu NGIE (b.1972, Hong Kong) graduated from Hong Kong Art School in 2006, majoring in painting. Lulu Ngie delights in studying the human psyche as expressed through a person’s body language: how we stand, sit, lie and move, however subtly, reveals what we think and feel. When experiencing uncomfortable emotions such as acute embarrassment, anxiety or fear, we often try to protect ourselves by seeking distractions or rationalising our feelings. Sometimes we try to laugh it off. These and other coping mechanisms are almost instinctive. Just as the physical body can heal itself after suffering an injury, the mind, too, has the ability to recover its equanimity after a trauma. The desire to protect ourselves is strong in all living beings who seek self-preservation. Lulu shares her fascination in this often unnoticed but powerful part of our mental world. Participated exhibitions include solo “The Sensitive Body” (Gallery EXIT, Hong Kong, 2022), “Relax Until Distraction Comes” (Gallery EXIT, Hong Kong, 2019), “Fictitious Force” (Art Los Angeles Contemporary, 2018), “ART021 Shanghai Contemporary Art Fair 2016” (Gallery EXIT, Shanghai, 2016) and “Day After Day After Day” (Gallery EXIT, Hong Kong, 2013). Group exhibition “Minding the G(r)a(s)p” (Parasite, Hong Kong, 2022), “In search of absence” (Korea Cultural Center in Hong Kong, 2021), “Deep Silence” (Hong Kong Arts Centre, Hong Kong, 2017) and “To Each, his zone” (Gallery EXIT, Hong Kong, 2016). Her works have been collected by M+ Musuem, Hong Kong and LUXELAKES•A4 Art Museum, Chengdu. NGIE currently lives and works in Hong Kong.
