DEPOT Artist

Onlie Ong

Onlie Ong was born in Taiwan, and migrated to New Zealand in 1991.

After he migrated to New Zealand and he took up ceramic sculpture – work that won him awards over the ensuing years, including the Portage Ceramic Awards (New Zealand) and the Gold Coast Art Awards (Australia).

He has also participated in international competitions including the World Ceramic Biennale in South Korea and the International Asia-Pacific Ceramics Invitational Exhibition in Taiwan.

In 2008, a wrist injury shifted his focus to paintings. Most of his painting subjects are landscape and objects.

My art is not a pursuit of a real image, but rather what that image represents.
