BIOGRAPHY
Dony CHENG Hung (b. 1993, Hong Kong) received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2017 and Master of Fine Arts in 2023 from the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Cheng is inspired by the manmade nature and the sense of alienation she has experienced in Hong Kong. Inspired by the manmade nature and sense of alienation the artist experienced in Hong Kong, Cheng's multidisciplinary practice recurringly reveals the complex of light, shapes, and spaces. Her works evoke poetic emotions within the city and explore the common connection between our senses and the surrounding environment, dwelling into the intricate relationship between humans, nature, and the urbanity. She has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions, including ‘Time Objects’ (Gallery EXIT, Hong Kong, 2026), ‘Finding Rest on the Highway’ (Gallery EXIT, Hong Kong, 2024), ‘Elaboration of the Reflected Lights’ (Gallery EXIT, Hong Kong, 2022), ‘Emo Gym’ (Tai Kwun, Hong Kong, 2022), ‘The Night Observer’ (Yen Ben Contemporary, Tainan, 2021), and ‘The Sunset Lasts Forever’ (a.m.space, Hong Kong, 2020). Cheng received the Tai Kwun Contemporary commission for ’55 Squared’ (Unfurling the Scroll of Space and Time, 2020), the Fresh Trend Art Award and Grotto Fine Art’s Creative Award in 2017. She also completed an artist residency at Treasure Hill Artist Village in 2018, and the Award for Young Artist (Visual Arts) at the Hong Kong Arts Development Awards in 2025. The artist currently lives and works in Hong Kong.
