Celine Cheung (b.1997) is an interdisciplinary artist, designer and community facilitator based on Wallumedegal land, working across drawing, installation, performance, video projections and jewellery-making. Drawing from Gothic tales, Eastern spirituality and speculative fiction, she is interested in re-tellings of familial history, interpersonal intimacy and queer coming-of-age experiences. Her work often features intricate mark-making, mixed media and digital collage. Currently, she is interested in how dreams and aspirations stand in conflict with a haunted past in the context of migration in Western Sydney.
Celine holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts/Arts from UNSW Art and Design. Her works have been exhibited at Pari, Diversity Arts Australia, Gallery Lane Cove + Creative Studios and AirSpace Projects among other ARIs and institutions. In 2022, She completed a residency at Parramatta Artists’ Studio Open Digital program, researching Gothic fiction, local heritage shipwrecks and CALD displacement.
In 2021, she founded a sustainable accessory label Nu Talisman (@nu.talisman), focused on creating jewellery with natural and upcycled materials. Nu Talisman’s ethereal designs celebrated fantasy, cosmology and cinema with a cult online following, beloved by the Sydney creative community.
