The art of Cheung Yee possesses a strong personal style with a unique vocabulary. The framework of modern Western art is employed to contain Chinese aesthetic beliefs. While Cheung draws inspiration from ancient cultural elements of historic China, his sculptures form a timeless meeting place of modern art and ancient culture. Cheung Yee is the first Chinese sculptor to bring before an international audience modern sculptures impregnated with Chinese ideas, in the footsteps of Chinese painters, who similarly broke through geographical boundaries by bringing Chinese cultural ideas into the arena of Western painting. Cheung’s art is rooted in the metropolitan culture of Hong Kong, and he is one of the artists who succeeds in blending the East and the West in his art.
