Gordon Cheung Survey at Close Gallery Bridges Finance, History, and Digital Tech
On June 6, 2026, Close Gallery will launch a major exhibition by Gordon Cheung called 'Many Worlds, One Mind,' running until August 15, 2026. Cheung, who hails from London with roots in Hong Kong, creatively integrates Financial Times stock pages into his art, using them as a foundation for both painted and digital works. His inspirations draw from Chinese philosophy, European art history, global finance, and digital advancements. Cheung critiques contemporary economic systems by alluding to the tulip mania of the 1630s alongside Dutch Golden Age art. Using a mix of digital tech, 3D printing, and sculpture, he earned his MFA from the Royal College of Art in 2001 and has exhibited in major collections like the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
