About the Item

"Migration (Screw #4)", 2014, Financial newspaper collage, acrylic on canvas and board, 50 x 40 x 2.5cm by Gordon Cheung Screw Paintings Begun around 2014 they were originally throwaway byproducts from my paintings where I masked out areas for spray painting. Often I found the visual effects of screwed up newspaper fascinating and eventually was compelled to turn them into works of art. I came to understand them as a fascinating space to think about the actual and the virtual. Although I am too close to them to be able to see, some have told me that they look like aerial photographs of landscapes; a moonscape or perhaps the stargate sequence from Stanley Kubirck’s 2001. They are collaged newspapers screwed up, unfolded and sprayed from different directions before being collaged and flattened onto canvasses. The sequence of originating as a flat newspaper into a physical sculptural form before being flattered again oscillates between the physical and the illusory. The title of the series is tongue in cheek as well as a literal description of the process. A playful reference to zombie formalism while overloading the surfaces by using financial newspapers to refer to the information spaces that surround us and the illusions of a physical space rendered almost completely flat to open up spaces to question our habitual perceptions of reality. About Gordon Cheung Born 1975 in London, contemporary multi-media artist Gordon Cheung has developed an innovative approach to making art, which blurs virtual and actual reality to reflect on the existential questions of what it means to be human in civilisations with histories written by victors. Cheung raises questions and critique’s the effects of global capitalism, its underlying mechanisms of power on our perception of identity, territory and sense of belonging. Cheung graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting in 1998 from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London and earned his Masters of Fine Arts in 2001 from the Royal College of Art in London. Select solo shows include Jack Shainman Gallery in New York, The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, The New Art Gallery Walsall, Walsall UK, The Light that Burns Twice as Bright, Alan Cristea Gallery, London UK, Here Be Dragons, Nottingham Castle Museum and Art Gallery, Nottingham, UK and New Order Vanitas, Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens, West Palm Beach, FL, USA. His works are held in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, D.C., the Whitworth Art Museum in Manchester, Royal College of Art in London, and the British Museum, amongst others. He lives and works in London.
