Bernice Ong is an artist working across visual and live formats. Her practice is primarily concerned with the experience and memories of transitory environments - from the individual perspective within migratory phenomena, to the larger scale impact of changing cityscapes. The aesthetics of her work take their cue from the oft-vibrant and hard edge geometry found in urban landscapes, but also celebrate the subtlety and nuances of their shifting colours and forms through time.
Bernice has a Bachelor of Fine Arts/Arts from the University of New South Wales (Sydney, Australia) and graduated from the performance studies program with honours. She was a recipient of the Cate Blanchett Prize for her honours research in performance studies during her final year, and the Jenny Birt Award for painting from COFA (College of Fine Arts, Sydney) in 2010. Contemplating space in all its forms, Bernice also works in theatrical spaces as a designer and technician.
