Paintings by Amy Cheng |
|
| "I try to evoke what Zen practitioners call nothing and
everything, the sense of being one with the universe."
Her oil works often rely on repeated pattern, brilliant color and an intricate layering
of space. Her most recent works, while abstract, still provide visual references to
planets and stars, fabrics and maps. |

Amy Cheng fluidly merges
western painterly preoccupations with the eastern sensibilities of her heritage. Born in
Taiwan, and raised in Brazil, Oklahoma and Texas, Cheng has developed a painting
vocabulary based in various cultures that remains uniquely her own.
