Day01. is pleased to present Vanishing Point, the first Sydney exhibition by Szelit Cheung, an artist based between Melbourne and Hong Kong, whose cross-disciplinary practice spans painting, drawing, photography and installation.
The white cube is never neutral
Drawn directly from the architecture of day01, the full-width pivoting wall and fold-down desk form a minimalist design vocabulary treated here as material rather than backdrop. Intimate in scale and precisely composed, Cheung's paintings shift in perspective and orientation from work to work. For Cheung, the angle is never just a line; it is where emptiness takes shape, where space becomes a charged and active presence. Each work holds between opening and folding, arrival and recession, drawn in a restrained vocabulary of forms, lines and structures.
