Claire Sherman - Boulders - 2012 - 78" x 90" - Oil on Canvas
I am thankful once again for Pinterest as it has led me to another amazing artist - Claire Sherman. Sherman is a young painter working and living in New York but who's childhood growing up in Oberlin, Ohio has dramatically influenced her work. Her paintings have been described as "an alternate between representative and abstract, depicting situations that are familiar, yet banal" (Marcella Durand). I don't know much about her but I did find this Q&A an interesting read. Here are a few favorites. Happy weekend!
