Cherry Aribisala (b 2000) is a Nigerian born and raised artist, currently based in London. Aribisala graduated from Goldsmiths, University of London (2022) with a BA Hons in Fine Art.
Aribisala's practice currently involves painting, drawing and various forms of printmaking. The artist's large scale paintings and creations draw influence from comic books, contemporary figuration and illustrative brush marks inspired by graphic imagery and her love of colour in order to move beyond a grounded sense of reality.Floral surroundings are an important motif found in Aribisala's works as whilst it allows for a visually impactful composition that keeps the viewer's gaze constantly moving, it also allows room for Cherry to manipulate or play with the symbolism of floral and the ways it can interact with the subject(s) in her paintings.
