We are pleased to share a new interview with Gordon Cheung, published by Abundant Art to coincide with his current exhibition, Many Worlds, One Mind, at CLOSE Gallery.
In this thoughtful and expansive conversation, Cheung discusses the ideas that have shaped his practice, from Chinese philosophy and cultural identity to the influence of global finance, technology and art history. Reflecting on a career spanning more than two decades, he offers insight into the research, materials and processes behind works that combine classical imagery with contemporary concerns.
The interview explores the themes at the heart of Many Worlds, One Mind, including the systems that shape our understanding of value, power and belonging. Cheung speaks about his use of Financial Times stock listings as a foundation for many of his works, his fascination with historical moments such as Dutch tulip mania, and the ways in which digital technologies have transformed both society and artistic practice.
Offering a deeper understanding of the ideas behind the exhibition, the conversation provides valuable context for visitors and collectors alike, revealing the intellectual curiosity and interdisciplinary thinking that define Cheung's work.
