Marcus Cherrill’s paintings are rooted in close observation of familiar landscapes along the Sussex coast and South Downs — places that are widely known, walked and photographed.
Rather than seeking spectacle, his work focuses on the quieter act of noticing: subtle shifts in light, atmosphere and movement that emerge through repeated encounters with the same locations.
By slowing the pace of looking, these paintings invite the viewer to experience well-known places anew — not as landmarks, but as lived, atmospheric spaces shaped by time, weather and presence.
Sustained bodies of work exploring place, light and movement
Paintings shaped by the shifting light and rhythms of the Sussex coastline, exploring moments of calm, movement and stillness through repeated observation.
Paintings exploring distance, elevation and the slow movement of light across the South Downs, rooted in familiar paths and repeated viewpoints.
A more energetic body of work focused on movement, impact and rhythm, capturing moments where sea, structure and force meet.
