Ching Ho Cheng
1946–1989
Introduction
Ching Ho Cheng (December 26, 1946 – May 25, 1989) was a Cuban-born American visual artist of Chinese descent whose work occupies a distinct place within the cultural and aesthetic landscape of postwar New York. Active from the late 1960s through the 1980s, Cheng developed a materially innovative and conceptually introspective practice that intersected with the downtown avant-garde, psychedelic art, and emergent Asian American artistic expression. His work is categorized into four distinct periods: Psychedelics, Gouache, Torn Works, and The Alchemical Series—each primarily executed on paper.
