Dony Cheng 鄭虹
/Dony Cheng received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2017 and Master of Fine Arts from CUHK in 2023. Her artworks have been exhibited in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Paris, her work was featured in the group exhibition “Emo Gym” at Tai Kwun Contemporary in 2022. Cheng lives and works in Hong Kong.
Cheng is inspired by the artificial nature and sense of alienation experienced in Hong Kong. In her artworks, she aims to evoke poetic emotions within the city and explore the connection between our senses and the surrounding urban environment in our daily lives. She examines the relationship between humans, nature, and the urban landscape.
During her two-year period of studying for an MFA in Fine Arts, she took a step back and focused on exploring how sensory experiences in our urban surroundings contribute to our understanding of the environment, thus creating a sense of alienation within the city. She looks into the relationship between painting and perceiving, which has led her to explore video installation to ambient the perceiving under the influence of art practice.

鄭氏的創作靈感來自於香港的人工自然和異化感。她嘗試探索我們日常生活中感官與周圍城市環境之間的聯繫，並喚起城市中的詩意情感。她審視人類、自然和城市景觀之間的關係。
在攻讀藝術碩士學位的兩年中，她有意識地回顧並專注於探索我們在城市環境中的感官體驗如何影響我們對環境的理解，深入研究繪畫與知覺之間的關係，她嘗試以探索影片裝置結合繪畫作品，呈現在藝術實踐的影響下的知覺體驗的視覺旅程。
