Cherri Wood (USA)
Cherri Wood is a young illustrator based in Minnesota. Her watercolor and ink studies explore the complex subtleties of the human form, roving the depths of feminine distress and despair. Describing her pieces as “a cluster of ink explosions,” she splashes the paper and canvas with diet coke and tea and smudges it with willow charcoal and graphite. Artwork frequently contains quotes and dialogue culled from a plethora of classic plays and short stories, narrating each work in their own special way. Wood has shown with Andenken Gallery, Carmichael Gallery, Gallery 1988, Project Gallery, Thinkspace Gallery, and O Contemporary/Opus Underground.
