I'm totally stalking Gordon Cheung right now. He is ridic amazing.
Check out awesome interview in Artworld.
The Guardians
Trophy 5
Using the Financial Times' stock market pages as a base for all his work, Cheung has created an artificial landscape focusing on globalization. By using acrylic and spray paint on the bland beige background of the newspaper's pages, his work is a vibrant and luminous contrast, looking something like a nuclear sunset. Multiple layers and colours give a real depth to the work, encouraging you to get up close to the detail. The background text of the pages sometimes shows though the layers of paint, acting as a metaphor for "the dominant global economic ideology that maps the torrential streams of capital around the world".
