About the Item

Tony Scherman (b. 1950) is one of the most collected and cherished Canadian artists. He is renowned internationally for his work, typically executed in encaustic (one of the most difficult mediums to work in). Scherman's sumptuous images (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. Throughout his career, Scherman has created a striking body of work that often portrays the female form; including characters from history or 20th century literature. Ballet is a recurring motif within this theme, with works depicting the likes of iconic dancers such as Karen Kain. This work features a lith dancer in motion, embodying the grace and precision of her craft. Scherman’s rich, textured approach captures the strength of the dancer’s movement, her poised stance hinting at an imminent and swift stride. As with the best of his work, Scherman's masterful use of light infuses the scene with drama, accentuating the elegance of her performance. 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) Questions about this piece?
