About the Item
Artist Comments
I remember feeling a surge of joy when I felt the subtle pulse of new friendship as a child. New friends made their way into my life, not often, but effortlessly. It just felt good, like the first licks of an ice cream cone on a warm summer afternoon. Having ice cream with one another, especially in this beautiful setting, embodies contentment for these new fast friends. There's just not much that can top robot love. This wood panel was blanketed first with the torn, yellowed pages of a novel, then painted over with transparent yellow/green acrylic so that the text is readily visible on all sides, as well as in some more transparent areas of the painting. The image itself is done in oil. The work comes wired and ready to hang.

- Death Head, Original PaintingBy Drew McSherryLocated in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
Artist Drew McSherry pictures an enigmatic profile of a face. It appears to be a creature with its mouth agape. His process begins with loose sketching and blotting to achieve a smudged effect. Drew layers pastel over the work to enrich the darker colors.About the Artist

The mechanical need of being human or to have a faith or a sacred creed in which to trust is the theme of this painting. Artist Statement: In a way, when I start a painting, it's like starting a journey. A journey that explores my past, philosophy and the human subconscious. My creations in my view are very symbolic. There are many elements in it that have latent meanings, whether collective or personal. They also have a strong philosophical and psychological charge, mainly delving into the subconscious and the dark part that we possess and repress, contrasting it with the pleasant or tender part that we want to simulate. The origin of things has a great meaning in me. This is how my inspiration arises in the world of childhood - as the origin of man - abstract symbols that simulate cells - origin of life -, the wheel - origin of civilization. I also use circles to symbolize cycles of time and life. Passage of time, nostalgia, pain, loneliness, human darkness, disturbing and perhaps bitter elements, I contrast them like enigmas in environments of apparent calm. Innocent figures with heartbreaking and enigmatic worlds. I exploit all the techniques, even sometimes I use unconventional materials until I reach the desired point of maximum expression. Influenced mainly by Klimt, Flemish medieval masters, Chagal, Pedro Pablo Oliva, Joan Miro...Category
