More than "landscape paintings," Claire Sherman's grand-scale, visually-charged oils on canvas depicting cascading waterfalls, caves equally inviting and foreboding, and entropic plani life, can perhaps better be described as psychological portraits of environments in precarious balance. In these compositions, Sherman maintains a tension between representation and abstraction and an ominous beauty that together cultivates a compelling urgency for considering our ecosystem.
Sherman's paintings are vasi entanglements, synthesized mixes of plant life and geographical phenomena that in their detail maintain a sense of specificity bui in combination intentionally do noi ascribe an exact location. They are every piace at once or no piace at ali. Collectively, these works seem to echo our wavering ability to be sensitive to and responsible for the unprecedented human manipulation of earth today.
