"LotusCloudTreeMist" May 25 - June 8, 2006 Emily SyCip Cheng is an artist of boundless vision, her paintings have the expanse of the cosmos and the fluidity of the sea. Her work is eclectic and multilayered replete with a variety of images ranging from the decorative to the mystical inspired by centuries of art from across the world. She starts by stripping images of their symbolic content and retaining just the form. Then, she imaginatively reincarnates them in such a way that they preserve their individuality, yet weave into each other. The outcome is highly refined compositions of reinvented images that have an independent, complete identity and are able to communicate in a totally fresh manner. In that sense, she is a true postmodernist. …………………………….Priya Malhotra, “Wholeness in a Fragmented World”, Asian art News July/August 2004 “…The paintings’ translucent colors and delicate linear fragments seem to levitate before the viewer’s eyes, as if bits of Chinese ceramics or embroidery were drifting through layers of folded, colored air” …. Roberta Smith, New York Times Some of her solo exhibitions include the Bronx Museum, Cinncinati Center of Contemporary Art, Hanart Gallery in Hong Kong and Metropolitan Museum in Manila. Group shows include the Hammond Museum, Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art and the Museum of Contemporary Art, USF, Tampa, Florida. Cheng is the recipient of a National Endowment of the Arts Fellowship, New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship, and a Yaddo Fellowship.
