Cheryl Gordon, a self-taught artist originally from E. St. Louis, IL, finds joy in working with fluid acrylics, epoxy resin, and various other media. Having graduated from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, Cheryl gravitates towards a hands-on approach in her creative process. Fluid acrylics serve as the perfect medium for her to craft one-of-a-kind and deeply personal works of art.
Specializing in painting, Cheryl delves into the realms of ambiguity and origin through repeated takes and variations. By formalizing the coincidental and accentuating the conscious process of composition, she unveils the thought processes behind what may seem like random pieces. Her art often reveals private, highly subjective, and unfiltered references to dream worlds, presented as intricate assemblages.
Cheryl's paintings showcase coincidental, accidental, and unexpected connections that allow for a revision of art history and the creation of surprising analogies. Through abstraction, she aims to heighten the interaction between the viewer and the artist by objectifying emotions and exploring the duality that arises from differing interpretations. Each piece invites the audience to delve into their own interpretations, free from the constraints of historical reality.
The structure of Cheryl's works never fully reveals itself, leaving room for individual imagination and interpretation. Experimenting with aleatoric processes, she constructs intense personal moments through a delicate balance of rules and omissions, acceptance and refusal, captivating the viewer in a mesmerizing dance of exploration. Cheryl Gordon currently resides and creates in Atlanta, where her multifaceted pieces can bring a touch of depth and intrigue to any home or office space.
