Marcus Cherrill's paintings are rooted in close observation of the Sussex coast and South Downs. Through repeated visits, he explores the subtle shifts of light, weather and atmosphere that transform familiar places.
​
Rather than seeking dramatic spectacle, his work invites the viewer to slow down and notice what is often overlooked—finding beauty, memory and quiet presence in landscapes we think we already know.
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.
