Sherry Pollack Walker's "Paint by Numbers" series reimagines the act of viewing art. It transforms the passive experience of admiring a completed masterpiece into an active process of creative interpretation.

 "Paint by Numbers" strips iconic masterpieces by world renowned artists of their color.

The absence of color invites the viewer to become the artist, “fill in the blanks” of missing color. Each viewer, presented with the outlines of a masterpiece, is compelled to engage in an act of imaginative interpretation. By removing the vibrant colors that define a work of art, Walker reveals the underlying structure and composition. This highlights the skill and intentionality behind the artist's choices, while also inviting the viewer to appreciate the power of line and form.
