MIXED MEDIA PAINTINGS

Robin Cheung’s work reflects the scratched and rugged remains of ancient walls and floor tiles, and the graceful profiles of timeworn vessels. She has always been intrigued by the various shapes and surfaces throughout history with their endless variation among the patterns, flecks, and lines that invite deeper study. She often uses her own works on paper to build layers, sanding and digging back into the board with hand and power tools, then painting again. “My recent pieces seek to evoke a feeling of the past brought to the present; a modern interpretation of the remnant shapes, patterns, and details of history. My work aims to capture the elegance and balance that these objects have inherited.”
