Tree and Water
By Claire Sherman
Located in Lyons, CO
Color lithograph. Edition 30. Claire Sherman is a painter who made her first lithographs at Shark’s in the summer of 2018 including the prints Underbrush and Tree and Water. Her paintings and prints propel the viewer into a claustrophobic and unstable world through a perspective that shimmies between representation and abstraction. Her works reference idealistic visions of the sublime, while the medley of imagery presented eliminates the need to identify the actual places – these works do not seek to portray a specific view or experience. They address the ubiquity of imagery we associate with the genre of landscape, nullifying a sense of particularity. Claire Sherman is an Associate Professor at Drew University in New Jersey. She has completed residencies at the Terra Foundation for American Art, the MacDowell Colony, the Marie Walsh Sharpe Art Foundation, Yaddo, The Albers Foundation, and the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council’s Workspace program. Recent exhibitions include solo shows at DC Moore...
