About the artist

Xianghan Cheng

Xianghan Cheng (b. 1994, China) is a Shenzhen-based artist whose practice revolves around abstract oil painting. His work draws from the rhythm and subtle transformations of urban space, translating fleeting impressions from daily experience into layered fields of arcs, curves, and quiet tones of gray. Through cycles of covering, erasing, and rebuilding, Cheng constructs surface that shift between clarity and ambiguity, where light, memory, and motion quietly intertwine. Each painting becomes a reflection of how the city moves— an abstract pulse suspended between order and flow, permanence and change.

Cheng received his MFA in Fine Arts from the California College of the Arts and his BFA from the Academy of Art University, San Francisco. He was a recipient of the Murphy & Cadogan Contemporary Art Award and a finalist for the Barclay Simpson Award in 2023. His work has been exhibited internationally, including Shenzhen Biennale of Contemporary Art (Shenzhen), The 11th Shenzhen Youth Art Week (Shenzhen), Gray Days, Orange Ways, solo exhibition at A Space Gallery (Brooklyn), FOCUS Art Fair New York (Chelsea, New York), Art on Paper New York (Pier 36, New York), Anti/Thesis (Minnesota Street Project, San Francisco), Phantom Dimensions (Black Brick Project, Brooklyn), and the Murphy & Cadogan Contemporary Art Awards Exhibition (SOMArts, San Francisco).

Cheng’s paintings are included in the collection of Han Jian Fine Art Gallery (Beijing) and continue to explore the tension between urban structure and emotional resonance through the language of abstraction.
