Influenced by John Berkey’s Star Wars and UK graffiti artist Banksy, Alex Cherry an American, demonstrates his artistic gift through edgy and insightful pieces with dark humor art inspired by his artistic soul in music. Self-taught artist  living now in Los Angeles California been recognized for his talent with ink, blurring the lines of art and design through digital work, making the distinction between what can be seen as deadly and in another sense beautiful,whose most seeing theme throughout his youth to adulthood has been an "intelligent, insightful rebellion". 

"Heaven In Her Arms" one of Cherry's best selling pieces of art is a modern abstract illustration of an angel in silhouette portraying the beauty that a woman is able to offer in an angelic sense of feeling. Its quality regarding shadows and two-tone form intensify the work as seen in a certain location drawing full attention to the piece of art.

 This work connects to surrealism theme in a way that an individual is able to see the many different actions, as having a full time job coming home to take care of her kids and husband and still being able to have extra energy in her to finish extra responsibilities with a smile in her face, a woman just trying to succeed in life, making her look like she has wings to fly far and wide, in other words strength and peace with a splash of fear of reality. I chose this work for the fact that it reminds me of many hard working women in this world that do not give up on their dreams.
