TAIPEI DANGDAI 2023: Un Cheng “Unbridled Wanders”


Blindspot Gallery is pleased to participate in this year’s Taipei Dangdai, presenting a solo presentation of recent paintings by Un Cheng (b. 1995, Hong Kong) at the Edge sector. “Unbridled Wanders” traces the footsteps of the itinerant-wanderer artist traversing through the suburban corners of the city where nature and the man-made are closely intertwined.

Based off photographs taken by the artist, Cheng paints a series of tableaus depicting the overlooked corners of quotidian life in Hong Kong. She accentuates the unappealing moments of the everyday that get omitted within the crevices, underlining their textures, material memories, humor, and awkwardness. The poetic visual journal lays bare the psychological landscape of an artist seeking solace and human connection amidst the ceaseless endeavors of a fast-paced metropolis.
