Plein Air Series

Installation Information

Born in Vietnam, PC Ngo currently resides in Seattle, Washington. Ngo explores the Seattle landscape through painting urban scenes on found recycled materials such as brown paper bags and envelopes. Frequently working in series, Ngo habitually studies his subject matter, ranging from native plants to scenes from his travels, in intense repetition—creating a flurry of small, fleeting, intimate insights. Most recently, his practice has turned towards navigating contemporary identities through the expressive use of color and abstraction in portraiture. Ngo began his studies in Industrial Design but ultimately returned to his passion for painting and earned his BFA from the University of Washington in 2013.
