“Leaves and Vines”

Claire Sherman is a painter who made her first lithographs at Shark’s in the summer of 2018, Underbrush and Tree and Water.
She returned in 2019 to make two new lithographs, Leaves and Vines and Waterfall.
Sherman’s paintings and these 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 but do not seek to portray a specific view or experience. She addresses the ubiquity of imagery we associate with the genre of landscape, nullifying a sense of particularity.
