About the Item

Artwork by Gordon Cheung, Mother, 2009, Laser pyrography, vaporised stock listings on plywood, 21 x 17 x 2cm The laser pyrographic etchings are layered with financial newspaper before the image is scorched into the surfaces to create a smoky and physically burnt out area to delineate lines and tones. Laser pyrography is used to create images of destruction with destruction. The origin of the word means fire drawing only here they are created with a laser cutter. The ‘Apocalypse’ series is based on Durer’s of the same title and is a set of 15 etchings about the vision of St John from the Book of Revelations. "My interest was in the use of the apocalypse as a metaphor of the 2008 Financial Crisis that was inflicted by a corrupt banking system causing a global recession." 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.

"Migration Screw #4" by Gordon Cheung
By Gordon Cheung
Located in Atlanta, GA
"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...

Object No.24 Wall Piece by Marcela Cure
Located in Geneve, CH
Object No.24 Wall Piece by Marcela Cure Dimensions: W 61.5 x D 7 x H 82 cm Materials: Resin and Stone Composite This collection is inspired by the delicate curves of the female body, displaying soothing pieces that evoke effortless sophistication and subtle sensuality. Each piece is carefully hand-sculpted in clay and later hand cast in a mixture of resin and stone. Marcela Cure is an interior designer from Barranquilla, Colombia, who, in addition to designing contemporary spaces with a Latin Punch, creates exquisite hand-sculpted art objects in materials sourced from the earth. Inspired by the creative legacy of her late mother, a renowned plastic artist, Marcela dedicated herself to designing her own spaces with such impeccable taste and creativity, that friends and family began to comission her design projects. It was at the end of 2015 that "Marcela Cure" was established as an interior design firm focused on contemporary and luxury projects, from which modern, cheerful spaces with an evident Latin American spirit are proposed, as well as contemporary art objects.
