Paintings By Walter Cherry

I have worked as an abstract painter since the early 1970’s and my work is about tonal and colour harmonies, discords and rhythms. 

I have used the stripe in my paintings since the late 70’s, having been strongly influenced by Bridget Riley and Gene Davis amongst others. A break from the stripe format occurred in the mid 80’s when my work became more expressive only to return to it in order to fulfil a commission. From this time the greys were dropped for full but limited colour.

Technology also has place on my recent development, hence the use of large areas of extremely deep black.
