erik cheung Hello, my name is erik cheung,
and I'm a doodle addict.
Edmonton canada

I have spent 40 years trying to develop my art following an instinct, subconscious drive I tend to believe. That is why my work varies from sculpture to drawing, painting, representational to expressive and abstraction. I taught my students doodling years back, knowing I need to surpass in skills, I pushed my approach further and landed on a new style L'automatisme Nouvelle. I was fortunate to have studied under Pat Martin Bates at the University. Her subconscious abstract works somehow led me into the same realm of stories from another world.

FOLLOW

I specialize in acrylic, drawing, gold leaf, marker, mixed media, oils, painting, pencil drawing, sculpture.

Sutra

Whether the script in the background is an actual sutra is not the concern, even if it is, would it be readable to most? I question the use of lines in Calligraphy. Without the recognition of the exact words or meaning, can we still appreciate the quality and skills involved? Armed with a Chinese writing foundation, I adapted the use of the eight strokes (the basis of construction to Chinese character). The `writings’ resembles Chinese/Japanese writings but in fact, they are not. I needed a texture. With language as a symbol of culture, by visually adapting these kind of lines endears us to the image.

Metamorphosis

Kafka's version of Samsa, turning into an insect, hanging from the ceiling watching down. He did not mention a girl dancing, but this is what I found within the subconscious lines.

The Last Breath

Sorry, a gloomy one. Have you thought of how the last breath could be depicted? I was not planning on anything. This was my subconscious speaking out of a scene in my life. I found this image hidden in my doodle lines.

Echoes

This was a transitional piece as I enlarged/zoomed out the 'mass' of the doodle towards the edge of the paper. This was one of the last pieces of abstracts before my figures surfaced from the compositions.

Lovers

Face to face, eye to eye, this pair of lovers is sharing their moment, despite any other figures which comes and goes. Now, all rests in the back of the mind, buried.

Smoke

Like smoke, the line finishes as soon as it began. There is no room for any colour shapes, or anything else to be done to it; any additions would disturb the coherent of the flow. Contrast, balance and flow all met there. Art simply surfaced at that very moment and left a trace. This very line represents 3 decades of work!
