Peter Ngo, “Brainwaves.”

An Artist and Writers Charity Game Pre-Party will be held Friday, August 16, from 6 to 9 PM at AB NY Gallery, which will present the debut solo exhibition of Peter Ngo, titled “The Art of Survival.” Raised in East Hampton, Ngo knew from an early age that he wanted to be involved with fashion and art. He began his journey in 2000 by being accepted to study at the Fashion Institute of Technology and later the School of Visual Arts. After completing both programs, he worked in New York for John Varvatos and Zegna, styling some of the top artists, musicians, models, tastemakers, and celebrities while pursuing fashion photography and painting, a creative outlet that has continued to the present. The artist’s work often features ethereal, mythic women floating amongst a wide array of imagery like plants, animals, spatial astronomical bodies, and wind energy turbines. The exhibit is on display through August 20.
