Opening Reception: February 5, 6 - 10pm
Dark humor has always been Howard Sherman’s forte, and with his
new work he doesn’t disappoint. The artist’s unique ability
to meld historical references with humor has set him apart. The Houston-based
artist’s most recent paintings continue to exhibit this ability
in an explosive, even bombastic fashion, despite a somewhat more economical
use of visual noise. An increasingly sophisticated palette and less reliance
on illustrative elements mark significant growth in Sherman’s work
from his days as a syndicated comic strip cartoonist.
Sherman received his BA in Studio Art from the University of Texas, and
his MFA from the University of North Texas in Denton. Sherman had his
first solo museum exhibition in Fall, 2008 at the Art Museum of Southeast
Texas in Beaumont. His work has been featured in New American Painting
(Volume 60 and Volume 72), and was included in a two-year traveling exhibition
entitled New American Talent, organized by Arthouse at the Jones
Center, Austin, TX. In 2008, Sherman completed a three-month residency
at the McColl Center for Visual Art, Charlotte, NC.
