Amy Sherald Drawings. Im not a sketcher. I was in Atlanta for the first four months of the really hardcore shelter-in-place order and away from my studio but I was able to do some drawings.
To say that the Baltimore-based painter has had her share of challenges would be an understatement. Sherald subverts the medium of portraiture to tease out unexpected narratives inviting viewers to engage in a more complex. Amy Sherald finds success and a new chance at life.
The pressure after painting Obama I got sick.
Artwork 2018 Amy Sherald Gwenn Seemel Amy Sherald 2018 marker on paper 8 x 5 inches Sherald is one of my personal heroes. My sketch is the photograph. On 20 March Amy Sherald one of Americas defining contemporary portraitists will unveil new paintings in her first West Coast solo exhibition. Her style is simplified realism involving staged photographs of her subjects.
