Gordon CheungTulip Futures 01 (SAVAGE) , 2024Midjourney, Krea and Photoshop; Print: Giclée on Hahnemühle Photo Rag
‘Tulip Futures’ reflects on the history of capitalism and its relationship with modernity. AI is used to create images of Dutch Golden Age tulips over 370 years ago in reference to what is considered to be the birth of Modern Capitalism and the first recorded economic bubble called Tulipmania. The works are set within a ‘vaporwave’ landscape: an internet art movement that emerged in the early 2010s known for its nostalgic and sometimes ironic commentary on consumerism, capitalism, and the digital age. The artwork is a physical print and also digital art on the blockchain. Bitcoin epitomises blockchain technology, a pillar of the fourth industrial revolution and was disparagingly referred to as a Tulip bubble by the traditional centralised bankers. By leveraging AI tools, "Tulip Futures" invites a philosophical contemplation of the nature of reality, perception, and economy in an increasingly digitized world. It offers an imaginative framework to critically engage with the intersections of history, technology, and human experience, fostering a deeper understanding of the human complexities inherent in our collective pursuit of meaning and prosperity. Reflecting on how our understanding of the future landscape is influenced by past events and present technologies. It can also signify existentially a landscape devoid of meaning or purpose, ecological degradation, dystopian societal collapse, technological dominance, and epistemological uncertainty. It prompts contemplation on the challenges of human knowledge and the choices we make in shaping our future.Digital: 33.18 x 59.4 cm, 13.06 x 23.39 in

Gordon Cheung (b. 1975, London, UK) is a contemporary multimedia artist whose practice interrogates
the cultural, economic, and ideological systems shaping contemporary life. Working across painting, sculpture, and installation, Cheung has developed a distinctive visual language that merges physical and digital processes, often incorporating financial data as both material and conceptual framework. His work reflects on the psychological and geopolitical conditions of global capitalism, exploring how narratives of identity, territory, and belief are constructed, contested, and destabilised.
Born in London to Chinese parents, Cheung’s practice is informed by a transnational perspective that
draws on mythology, religion, politics, and economic history. His landscapes and constructed
environments often appear seductive and dreamlike, yet are underpinned by structures of volatility and
control, creating a tension between illusion and systemic reality.
Cheung received his BA in Fine Art (Painting) from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design and
his MA from Royal College of Art. He has exhibited internationally, including presentations at the Liverpool Biennale and the La Biennale di Venezia (Azerbaijan Pavilion), as well as exhibitions at Centre Pompidou-Metz and the Royal Academy of Arts.
His work is held in major institutional collections including the Museum of Modern Art, Hirshhorn Museum
and Sculpture Garden, British Museum, Yale Center for British Art, and Asian Art Museum, among others, as well as corporate collections including HSBC (Birmingham, UK) and BlackRock (Singapore).
Cheung is currently included in the group exhibition Stay Connected: Supplying the Globe at Tai Kwun
Contemporary. He lives and works between London and Hong Kong.
