Princess Margaret Lottery
What a thrill it is to have 2 new aerial paintings in the Spring 2025 Princess Margaret Lottery Home facilitated by Art Interiors in Toronto. Brian Gluckstein and his team have designed another stunning home to be won by a lucky ticket holder. Bird’s Eye View I and II, 40x40”, oil on canvas, framed gracing this lovely resting area. A few words about the paintings:
Sherry Czekus captures the vibrant pulse of city life through her striking figurative urban crowd scenes. Each large-format canvas immerses viewers in a colorful tapestry of contemporary figures, showcasing the dynamic interactions and emotions of everyday moments. Ideal for both home and corporate spaces, Czekus’s artwork infuses each environment with energy and a sense of connection.

Sherry Czekus is a well-known Canadian artist famous for her lively urban scenes that capture city life. Her large canvases feature colorful figures that express movement and emotion. Perfect for homes and businesses, her art encourages viewers to connect with everyday stories, improving spaces while showcasing modern life and human experiences.
Three crowd scape paintings have been chosen and are now hanging in the departures lounge at Region of Waterloo International Airport until 2025 as part of the Waterloo Region Public Art program.
BLOCK PARTY
Wall Space Gallery is proud to present, “Block Party”, the latest solo-exhibition by painter Sherry Czekus. Her near colour-block approach and use of negative space in the portrayal of ‘crowdscapes’ breaks away from realistic representation into the tenuous tensions between colour and form. Czekus is ultimately fascinated with the organic fluctuations and movements within gatherings, and the moment when individual identity collapses into a larger collective presence.
Her aerial views of pedestrian motion break from her usual use of first-person perspective, instead placing us in the position of unseen observer floating above her scenes. In Look Up 1 and Look Up 2, this removal from the sense of being included in the crowd creates a calming space of separation, like standing still and feeling a river flowing around you. Though Czekus pares down her forms into blocks of colour, she maintains the subtle presence of the painted mark, and ultimately of her own hand, in the soft blends, transparencies, and directional brushwork that build or dissolve her figures. The works are deeply grounded in questions of painting and its ability to represent, in gesture, colour, and form, the bodily experience and pace of the urban ‘flaneur’.
