Wilfred the Corgi exemplifies Ngo's unique style; a heady mix of kitsch aesthetic and Japanese anime.

Jenny Ngo is an emerging painter, digital artist, animator and gamer. Working from reference images that she researches and sources, her work shifts between skillfully illustrated paintings in gouache and acrylic, to slick yet ‘cute' digital renderings. Inspired by Japanese animé, she is known for her psychedelic renderings of animals created with exaggerated features in lurid, fluoro colour palettes. Her artworks are as unsettling as they are appealing—some elements are true to life, all the while bright colours are applied elsewhere, adding a surreal, unnerving twist. She is currently exploring software that can turn her animations into a narrative-based playable game. Ngo has been a regular artist at Arts Project Australia since 2010. She has exhibited in several group shows at Arts Project Australia and won first prize at Connected in 2013. In 2015, her animation ‘Paw Prints‘ was shortlisted for the Oska Bright Film Festival in Brighton, UK.
