Emily Cheng is known for radiantly colored, radially composed paintings  that combine the polished riffs of post-abstraction with bits of decorative patterns or schematized lotus designs. The paintings’ translucent colors and delicate linear fragments seem to levitate before the eyes, as if bits of Chinese ceramics or embroidery were drifting through layers of folded, colored air.

Emily Cheng has a significant solo and group exhibition resume over the past thirty years to include the United States, Hong Kong, Taipei, and Peking.
