Gordon Cheung is featured in the The Good, The Bad and The Arty podcast episode “The Financial Times, Lord of The Rings and Other Ideological Systems”, hosted by Anna Gammans and Tabish Khan.
The conversation offers insight into Gordon Cheung’s practice and the ideas that have shaped more than two decades of his work. A contemporary multimedia artist, Cheung blends physical and digital processes across painting, collage, sculpture, and moving image to explore the overlap between virtual and lived realities; tracing a historical arc from the Dutch Golden Age to China’s rise as a 21st-century superpower, he critiques the mechanisms of global capitalism and their impact on identity, territory, and belonging, refracting these themes through culture, mythology, religion, and politics into dreamlike urban surreal worlds rooted in his “in-between” diasporic perspective, while examining the often-invisible systems that shape how we understand the world.
