On June 16th, a Zoom webinar will bring together Rob Colvin and Claire Sherman to discuss Sherman's solo exhibition, Intuor, currently on view at DC Moore Gallery through June 18th, 2022.
How does an artist engage with the long history of landscape painting in the 21st century? What makes it relevant to our contemporary experience? Claire Sherman grapples with these questions, pushing against the romanticism of the genre and depicting landscapes as they gradually dissolve into abstraction.
Over the coming weeks, we will be providing inside views into how our artists continue their practices to create new works of art, while sharing perspectives of their current, everyday lives. We are excited to welcome your thoughts about these features, as this initiative will bring together our friends, families and colleagues.
The March Green Series features artist Claire Sherman, whose show New Pangaea, up now at DC Moore Gallery in Manhattan, represents the natural world in a manner that makes her landscapes both recognizable and utterly imaginative, inviting yet daunting.
