Sherman’s work are a distilled yet assertive exploration of materiality, emphasizing spontaneity and intuition in a manner reminiscent of Abstract Expressionism’s gestural immediacy. Echoing the legacy of artists such as Willem de Kooning and Franz Kline, Sherman channels frenetic energy through a physical process grounded in formal rigor. Yet unlike his mid-century predecessors, his compositions temper heroic abstraction with a contemporary sensibility—inflected by irony, graphic immediacy, and a postmodern awareness of image culture.
Cartoonish figuration often surfaces through his abstract marks, conjuring echoes of Philip Guston’s late figurative turn, where crude visual humor met existential weight. These ambiguous forms—at once portraits, punchlines, and poetic fragments—invite viewers to read between the lines of Sherman’s vibrant visual language. By collapsing the boundaries between high and low, chaos and control, Sherman not only challenges the conventions of abstraction but reimagines them with humor, muscle, and unmistakable personality. His work stands as a dynamic conversation with the history of painting, retooling its visual vocabulary for the complexities of the present.
