Jeffrey Cheung

Jeffrey Cheung is a multidisciplinary artist, skateboarder, musician, activist, publisher and DIY enthusiast.

Cheung’s joyous and defiant paintings engages and questions the boundaries of sexuality, body, gender, and race. They vibrate with a body positive sexual energy. Curiosity and diversity is celebrated in a fluid and intuitive painterly language that pays homage to a long lineage of artists. Bodies intertwine, merge and reemerge in sculptural compositions. There is a weaponized and contagious love in Cheung’s work. You hear Ginsberg’s Howl between brushstrokes and bodies. A radical LOVE protesting the status quo, prejudices, racial and gender inequality, repression of sexual freedom and the predominant heteronormative gaze.
