rdf:langString Dawn Ng (born 1982) is a multi-hyphenate visual artist from Singapore. She works across a diverse breadth of mediums, motives and scale ranging from text, illustration, collage, light, sculpture to large scale installations. Her work primarily deals with time, memory, and the ephemeral.

In 2019, the artist was commissioned to fill a wing of the Art Science Museum for their Floating Utopias exhibition. 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.
