Linus Cheng

Australian artist Linus Cheng is an eternal child whose insatiable curiosity and fascination with shapes have never faded. A graduate of UNSW Art & Design with a Bachelor's degree in Media Arts, Cheng is constantly playing on the frontier between industrial visual development and contemporary graphic design.

His work delves into the intricate subjects of behavior, exploring the close relationship between emotion and action. His mastery of various disciplines - from concept art and character design to sculpture, typography, and illustration - demonstrates his versatility and ability to approach artistic creation from multiple angles.

Cheng's language is one of composition and color, where he communicates boldly through striking shapes and even more vibrant hues. His art provokes an unavoidable visual confrontation, a feast for the eyes that, however, refuses to be merely decorative. Each piece is an essay in itself, a search to unravel the complexities of human behavior.

Cheng's humility is reflected in his simple statement that he is "making work and trying to make it work." But this modesty should not conceal the quality of his work. Cheng not only "makes it work" but manages to create works that challenge, question and excite. A true titan in the world of contemporary art, Linus Cheng's passion and talent are a powerful combination that manifests in each of his creations.
