Claire Sherman

For the 2024 edition of The Art Show, DC Moore Gallery will present new paintings by Claire Sherman.

Claire Sherman’s work is rooted in direct experience and memory of place, exploring how moments in the environment become psychological spaces. Her recent paintings suggest spaces that close in and unravel around the viewer. These dense, tangled, and undulating natural forms address the complicated new landscapes we face today. Sherman engages new states in our environment caused by global trade and travel, in which invasive species and plants are forced into a new existence together.

Following her travels to locations in the American West that have been devastated by forest fires, Sherman has focused several paintings on the forms of wildflowers, which are often the first plants to return after a fire. These paintings are intimate views of a single piece of ground, pulling the viewer in close proximity to the landscape. As environments around us permanently change, the wildflowers are a symbol of resilience.
