New monograph.
In the Weave of Worlds by Emily Cheng explores unseen connections and energies, inspiring themes in exhibitions like 2025's A Knowing featuring her work alongside other artists. Her art often features intricate mandalas and vibrant patterns reflecting Eastern spirituality, creating mystical and ethereal visuals that delve into interconnectedness, a concept central to her book.
Emily Cheng (born 1953 in New York) is a Chinese-American artist with heritage roots in the Philippines, 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.
