Gordon Cheung
British, b. 1975
Gordon Cheung is a British artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Museum of Modern Art. Gordon Cheung was born in London.
Gordon Cheung keeps a stack of Chinese landscape scrolls in his London studio, right next to his printmaking tools. He slices up old stock charts and maps, then layers them into prints that blur Hong Kong’s skyline with Ming Dynasty mountains. The trick?
He mixes digital prints with carborundum grit, so the ink actually rises off the paper like a relief. If you’ve ever seen those ink-blot tests that look like a city collapsing into mist, you’ll recognize the same quiet chaos in his Night woodcuts.
