About the Artist
Caitlin Cherry (b. 1987, Chicago, IL), a painter of cyber-multitudes, draws on sculpture and installation in her multifaceted practice, coalescing into articulate and alluring representations of Black femininity. Filtering media through layers of digital manipulation, her work draws parallels between Black femme bodies, frequently commodified and positioned as sexual assets, and the seductiveness of art objects in the commercial gallery circuit. Cherry is Assistant Professor of Painting and Printmaking at Virginia Commonwealth University and the founder of the online program Dark Study, a contra-institutional space for radical learning about art and theory.
