Seven Series: a retrospective art exhibition by Cherry Sweig
November 6 - 27

Picture
The prolific artworks of Cherry Sweig were combined in a solo exhibition at Gallery by-the-Sea November 6 through 27. Opening Reception was on Saturday, November 12, 5:00-7:00 pm.

Guided by seven renowned collections and descriptive commentaries, viewers traveled around the world and back.

Cherry presented themed demonstrations:
Saturdays and Sundays in November - St James Church ‘en plein air’ inside and out, and Corfu’s Skyrian horse watercolors from her upcoming book,
Other demonstrations included - urban sketchbook illustration and oil painting of Meteora, the giant pillared rock formations in central Greece, with Eastern Orthodox monasteries precariously “built in the air”.

The seven collections featured in the exhibit are:
Around the World in 80 Paintings: 2012, Eighty watercolors and oils represented the journeys encompassing the world by Cherry from California, South America, Europe and Africa.
Gyotaku: 1988-2010, Over these years, Sweig focused on this legendary Japanese art (Gyo= fish, taku = Imprint). Ink is applied to the subject, rice paper laid and pressed by hand. A mirrored image reveals art from sea horses, Garibaldi, flying fish to a Great White Shark.
Saving the Small Skyrian Horse: 2006, This series and Sweig’s in-progress watercolor book are dedicated to this ancient Greek Equine from the island of Skyros. They are believed to be depicted on the Parthenon and used by Alexander the Great. Today, The Sylva Project, a breeding program in Corfu, has discovered their gentle nature to benefit special needs children.
In Bloom: 2011- 2021, This original oils collection features Wisteria waterfalls in Monet’s Garden, hummingbirds chasing red poppies, Birds of Paradise and Hollyhocks of Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Finding Venetian Angels: 2020, Twenty oil paintings depicted angels both in human form and inspired through imagery collected by Sweig during a 25 day quest in Venice, Italy.
In the Air: 2018, Behold the Eiffel Tower, a soaring seagull, the Statue of Liberty, and the Eastern Greek Orthodox Monasteries built on the immense natural pillars in Meteora, Greece.
La Jolla Treasures: 2014- present, Artist’s studio collection featuring LJ Cove, The Shores, Windansea Shack, The Bishop’s School, Goldfish Point and Shell Beach.

​The exhibit was open Saturdays, 11:00-4:00 pm and Sundays, 12:00-4:00 pm and by private appointments Mondays - Fridays.
