Gordon Cheung Recent Paintings

Curated by Neil Walker

Artist talk: Fri 12 Jan 2007 6.30 - 7.30pm
Followed by Private view: Fri 12 Jan 7.30 - 9.30pm

Epic in scale and content, Gordon Cheung’s landscapes recall variously the apocalyptic visions of John Martin and the timeless floating world of traditional Chinese brush and ink landscapes brought bang up to date with psychedelic spray paint colours, graffiti and collaged Financial Times listings.

He paints a flickering liminal world of information overload, where virtual reality merges with the urban landscape and utopian structures buckle and melt in some suggested natural or man-made disaster.
This exhibition provides an opportunity to see more work by this exciting young artist whose work featured in the British Art Show 6 exhibition at the Djanogly Art Gallery and across Nottingham in 2006.
