Un Cheng will participate in a group exhibition “Painting Itself” at Perth Cultural Centre, Australia. The exhibition will be touring Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts (PICA) and The Australian National University Drill Hall Gallery in Canberra in 2026. Un Cheng will undertake a four-week artist residency at the PICA, presented in partnership with Edith Cowan University (ECU).
“Painting Itself/绘画本身 is an exhibition of five painters from Hong Kong, Malaysia, London, Shanghai and Singapore. The exhibition explores a new horizontal culture in painting, where fundamental ideas about its history and vitality—long the influence of European and American values—are being reshaped in East and Southeast Asia.” – PICA
