Brian Cheung - Panacea

About

Panacea, a new series of paintings by Brian Cheung , is an exploration of the artist’s relationship to his own work, as well as the drastic ways in which the pandemic has forced a shift and reevaluation of his practice and approach. Rather than studies and surveys of the unfamiliar, Cheung has looked inward, finding solace in his own imagination. Closing reception: Nov 28th, 3 - 6pm. This exhibition will run from November 7th - November 28th and will coincide with Jana Brike's show Don’t Go Back to Sleep , Georgie Seccull's show Of Anima and Animus & Josh Juett's Monologue . Using repetitive and reflected motifs and imagery, optical illusions and hidden layers, Cheung has used his work as a place to hide—creating portals to more orderly, idyllic places he’d rather be. Brian Cheung (Australia) is a visual artist, illustrator, graphic designer and sometimes photographer based in Melbourne, Australia. Brian's practice encompasses illustration, drawing, painting, lettering, graphic design and photography; most often relying on simple analogue mediums with an emphasis towards process and technique. Themes of place, space and surroundings are repeatedly explored, fuelled by curiosity, itchy feet and a fear of complacency.
