Cheung’s work ‘Rainbow End’ utilises digital printing processes to manipulate imagery taken from found posters and flyers, producing a haunting effect. His use of Financial Times stock listings reflects his ongoing investigation in creating artificial realities using imagery taken from our dependency on technology, and desire for information.
