O Absolom, My Sweet Absolom - Eric Sherwood
Being schooled in landscape painting of traditional sansui (literally "Mountain water") of Chinese brush painting where perspective is often pushed and pulled by contradicting elements of both 2d and 3d, Eric Sherwood makes work that challenges as much as it entices. While working, esoteric concepts emerge, much of the iconography can be compared to a tarot deck, or the feelings from great insight. Sometimes it's abstract, sometimes figurative, the only constant through line being, spiritual exploration and understanding. With "Absolom", Sherwood found himself diving into who Absolom was in the Bible and became interested in living through all the characters in this small piece of the book. How David felt in that moment, what goes through the mind of a father with the death of a son, the conflicting emotions of love and confusion, loss, and fear, knowing his son was the kind of person he was, loving him. Being Absolom, with his wants, his desires, his choices, his end. This limited edition lithograph is printed on Kitakata and Chine colléd to white Arches cover Printmaking Paper and signed by the artist.
