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.
