BWW Reviews: Bruce Sherman Studio Visit - The Artist, the Ceramicist and the Man
by Barry Kostrinsky
Bruce Sherman's drawings evolve and flow; as he breathes it breathes. This may sound like child play but it takes a quiet mind to open up to a free unguided hand,. Remember that Picasso quote, “ It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child.”
Sherman's clay work has an organic feel. The forms seem to be almost happening as if they were created softly, developed by a soft hand reaching for the form to reveal itself and not to be ordered and directed. The material is often slab left overs, remnant rogue clay not fashioned for play this way or that, a gap in the note, a space for the music.
