About the Item
Tony Scherman (1950 - 2023) is one of the most collected and cherished Canadian artists. He is renowned internationally for his work, typically executed in encaustic, a mix of wax and oil (one of the most difficult mediums to work in).
Scherman frequently alludes to the grandeur of past centuries, both in his subject matter and his technique of painting with encaustic. The artist is continuing a tradition, of working with this material, that has been propelled through art history by a diverse number of canonical artists including Pieter Claesz, Caravaggio, and Cézanne.
Animal portraits make consistent appearances throughout Scherman's career, applying his distinct approach to a range of wildlife, including wolves, birds, and deer.
The artist is drawn to animals rich with complex symbolism, making his particular interest in the Bald Eagle a striking focal point throughout his oeuvre. While the eagle embodies strength, freedom, and authority, it also serves as an emblem of nationalism, raising questions about the intersection of power and influence.
In this work, the majestic bird commands the composition, its profile illuminated and beak turned downward in a striking pose. Its head is the sole detail in focus, and when complemented by a rich ochre background and pared-back details of its plumage, emphasizes the bird's powerful presence and significance.
Scherman’s work can be found in nearly every public collection in Canada, as well as many international museums including LACMA (Los Angeles) and Centre Pompidou (Paris).

My Mummy Jocasta
By Tony Scherman
Located in Toronto, Ontario
Tony Scherman (b. 1950) is one of the most collected and cherished Canadian artists.
He is renowned internationally for his work, typically executed in the highly temperamental medium of encaustic, which is a wax-based paint equivalent.
Scherman's moody palette and sumptuous portraits (whether contemporary, historical or allegorical) reference a range of masters, including Goya and Manet, yet his works are visceral and contemporary. Scherman's allusions to both history, and the history of visual art, are constants in his oeuvre.
This work, which depicts Oedipus' mother/lover Jocasta in carnal ecstasy, comes from one of the artist's most recognizable series, The Seduction of Oedipus.
"Oedipus Rex" is an ancient text...
