Cheung currently lives and works in Beijing. She obtained a master's degree from The Slade School of Fine Art in 2015 and a bachelor's degree from The Glasgow School of Art in 2012.
Cheung’s artwork is inspired by the urban space we live in and related to psychogeography. She expresses the perception of individuals and the environment by observing various social activities and explores its implicit cultural characteristics. Her paintings and monoprints often use vivid colors and unique perspectives to describe the aura, meanwhile, revealing the inner psychological level of the group or individual.

In this work, I wanted to explore the silence that exists within a crowd. A ski resort is typically a place of high energy and noise, but in the twilight, it transforms into something ghostly and vast. I am fascinated by the 'in-between' spaces—the moment when the day's recreation ends and the mountain begins to reclaim its stillness.
I painted the slopes with a rhythmic, almost topographical stroke to emphasize the weight of the land, while the figures are treated as mere echoes. They are grouped yet isolated, moving through a landscape that feels infinite and indifferent to them. The palette of dusty pinks and deep umbers was chosen to capture that specific cold light that makes everything feel slightly unreal. For me, this painting isn't just about winter sports; it's about the human desire to carve a path through the wild, and the beautiful, haunting realization of how small those paths really are. I want the viewer to feel the chill of the air and the immense, heavy quiet of the falling light.
