BIOGRAPHY
CHEUNG Chung Chau (b.1999) is based in Hong Kong. His works mainly make three-dimensional sculptures or installation artworks with varied materials, and express and explore some marks in the community. He won a scholarship from” Hong Kong Electric Special Award 2021”. In the same year, CHEUNG Chung Chau’s work was selected for “Young ArtistIn-Residence@54 Po Leung Kuk "and exhibited jointly with other artists-” Bones”. CHEUNG also created a water pipe installation artwork in the exhibition of “The Poetics of Blockages art exhibition”@HKDI.
CHEUNG loves looking for some mark from life, and these marks are some abstract symbols, lines, and structures. They all express some footprints in some streets, and there are some regional characteristics, and even people's behavior under some social problems. Exploring the community also led him to extend his attention to color, which led him to prefer black, gray, and white. This monotony is closely related to society, expressing a long sense of age and history, as well as some of the emotions and words of people. The Community has given him lots of reflection in terms of art creation.
CHEUNG's recent Bridge Series explores the importance of architecture in the community, revealing that Bridges are not only a connection point of destination, but also an entry and exit channel for the change of people's thoughts and identities.
