Un Cheng’s paintings invite viewers into intimate encounters with her psychological landscapes and personal reflections on urban life. Drawing inspiration from careful observations of quotidian life, fleeting exchanges with strangers, and quiet internal dialogues with her surroundings, her works function as a visual diary of her unique perspective on the city and its people. Through visceral compositions, Cheng reveals a deep yearning for intimacy and connection within an isolating metropolis.

Cheng graduated from the Academy of Visual Arts of Hong Kong Baptist University in 2017. Her works were recently exhibited in Painting Itself touring Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts and The Australian National University Drill Hall Gallery in Canberra in 2026. Now, and Then? is Cheng’s first artist monograph, encompassing works from 2017 to 2025.Cheng currently lives and works in Hong Kong.
