Gordon Cheung - Set of plates

Almine Rech Editions is pleased to present a set of four fine bone china presentation plates by British-Chinese artist Gordon Cheung.

Gordon Cheung uses a digital sorting algorithm to non-destructively reorganise photographic pixels to suggest rhyming histories that he visually calls ‘digital sands of time.’ By reordering the pixels of Dutch Golden Age still life tulip painting, Cheung weaves the romantic language of fragile mortality and futile materialism alongside the narratives of the birth of Modern Capitalism in the Dutch Golden Age, Tulipmania and the repetition of history as it moved beyond the 2008 Financial crisis into the digital age.

This exclusive collaboration is available for international purchase through the Almine Rech Editions website.
