Howard Sherman
Howard Sherman’s visceral abstractions are a testament to historical painting and the narrative cartoon. Elements of text, figure, illustrated line and thick paint converge to create a new existence out of contrasting components. Mr. Sherman’s paintings are a contradiction of calculated thoughtfulness and unabashed excitement.
