Hong Kong Art Basel 2021

21 - 23 May 2021
Blindspot Gallery / Hong Kong

In a recent diptych painting Nice to have a night like this (2021), Un Cheng uses her signature psychedelic color palette to paint night scenes of Sham Shui Po overlayed with other forgotten corners and fragments of her memory. From the doorways of old walkups, to the uninhabited structures in Cheung Chau, to facets encountered from her travels abroad. Cheng’s play with depths of field allows one passageway to frame another. She conjures an intricate network of portals that transitions the viewer from naked reality to imagined dreamscapes.
