Cheri Smith (b. 1991) lives and works in London. She completed her postgraduate in drawing at the Royal Drawing School (2018) and her BA in Fine Art from Norwich University of the Arts (2013). Her work has been exhibited internationally including with James Freeman Gallery (London), Fortnight Institute (New York) and Tabula Rasa (Beijing). Her debut solo show Swallowing Figments was held at Fortnight Institute in March 2024. Cheri’s works explore themes such as truth and fiction, animality and the weird. Her painted world is alive with animals, humans, plants and the elements, and imbued with an atmosphere of particularity and strangeness. Each scene is cultivated through a detailed observation of nature, and an imaginative transcribing of narrative elements mined from lived experience, dreams, literature and art history.

“This painting in intense, earthy grisaille, takes as its subject the dance between dogs that have just met on the lead. This behaviour is somewhere between playing and fighting, possessing joy, abandon, wildness, darkness. I hope that the entanglement of leads and limbs likewise keeps your eye dancing around the canvas.”

The original artwork was specially created for the Sound & Vision Auction (2024), presented by Art on a Postcard in collaboration with War Child.
