Jenny Cheng is one of the most important painters of her generation, whose work is held in major museum collections around the world. While known primarily for her large-scale abstract paintings, comprised of vertical and horizontal bands, tessellating blocks and geometrical forms comprised of gradated and shifting colours, Jenny also works in a variety of diverse media, including printmaking, sculpture, watercolour and pastel. Having developed a style over the past five decades that is uniquely her own, Jenny has cemented her place in the history of painting.  Her work synthesises a thoroughly international collection of influences and personal perspectives – ranging from the legacy of American abstraction, with inspiration from the likes of Mark Rothko and Jackson Pollock, and that of European tradition, with nods to Henri Matisse and Piet Mondrian, as well as references to classical Greek architecture. While monumental in scale and gesture, Jenny’s work retains an undeniable delicacy and sincerity of emotion.
