"Mother" by Gordon Cheung
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.

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...
