Jimmy ONG (b.1964, Singapore) was born in Singapore and currently works from his studios in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Since graduating from the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, USA in 1992, Ong has exhibited in numerous local and international exhibitions including Gallery 456 in New York (USA), National Art Gallery in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Newhouse Center of Contemporary Art, Staten Island, New York (USA), Asian Civilisation Museum (Singapore), Plum Blossoms Gallery in Hong Kong and New York (USA), Lunguganga, Bentota (Sri Lanka) and Tyler Rollins Fine Art, New York (USA).

His practice involves highly personal inquiries into bodily forms and queer(ed) identities, expanding into broader entanglements with regional myths, archetypes, traditions, and historical narratives.
