Chu Winnie Cheung
Chu Winnie Cheung is a Chinese jewelry artist based in Toronto. She received her MFA in Jewelry and Metalsmithing from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2023.
Cheung's practice is inspired by the philosophies of Buddhism and Taoism, providing insights into both the objective and spiritual worlds. This cultural foundation shapes her approach to context, materials, and formats, as she creates jewelry by distorting paper and using detailed enameling and engraving. By juxtaposing rigid socio-cultural norms with the raw energy of nature, Cheung reimagines the ancient perception for nature in contemporary jewelry, while critiquing modern tendencies to dominate it, further challenges the centralized patriarchy to enfeeble the ruling elite’s authority.
Cheung has participated in exhibitions worldwide, including Japan, United States, Canada, Chile, etc, and held solo exhibitions in Shanghai and Toronto.
