Sherry Czekus

“The rise of urban culture was a social phenomenon in 19th c Europe where people took to the sidewalks of the city as a way to see and be seen, interacting and socializing publicly. My paintings, mediated through my photographic urban experience, aim to portray the urban crowd as a single entity. Abstracted segments of the figures and patterns on clothing dominate the shallow space in the paintings that attempt to illustrate the visual perception of the everyday experience of city life. The paintings conceal the identities of the individual figures caught in the scene in an effort to expose the identity of the crowd at large.” Sherry is a Canadian painter based in Waterloo, ON. She completed her MFA at University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario and has exhibited her work in private and public galleries in Canada and the US.
