SOLD to a collector in the Philippines.

“FROM LEFT”, 2017
Cherie Altea
Acrylic Mixed-Media on Linen (mixed media consists on pencils and ink)
36 x 48in

Part of the diptych entitled “FROM LEFT/ TO RIGHT”, this commissioned artwork is the largest and most festive painting the artist has made to date, with a combined dimension of 48 x 72in / 4x6ft.  It took three months to complete as the artist was hit midway with a wave of self-doubt and a creative block that lasted for weeks. Finishing this piece felt like a car that suddenly ran out of fuel, sputtering as it tried to get started and inch forward. After taking a break while working on this artwork, the artist soldiered through the slump  on the 11th hour and raced to the finish line easily and effortlessly.

Maybe they’re curious, maybe they eavesdrop, and maybe they’re a little bit strange, but the colorful ladies on Cherie’s canvasses stare back at the viewer with a questioning look, and perhaps a little smirk.

All artworks will be delivered unframed and shipped by international courier.  Shipment does not include taxes, duties or fees that might be incurred upon arrival. All artworks include insurance.
