Hollow Sunsets are a way of seeing the world through the removed visions of cyberspace – a world that collapses culture and distance. Influenced by the revelations of his residencies in Japan, Pakistan and at the Chinese Arts Centre in Manchester, Cheung continually re-evaluates the idea of place and identity as challenged through globalisation. The resulting images reflect the fascinating contradictions and complexities of a world where Hello Kitty and Planet of the Apes merge with palm trees and housing blocks.

“Essentially my paintings reflect the techno sublime, where information overwhelms the individual, causing a flickering perception of realitiesâ€, says Cheung, whose dazzling new paintings have mesmerised the judges at this year’s Jerwood Drawing Prize, Prospect Drawing prize and the BOC emerging artists award.
