This event has ended.

At the edge of the paper, non-paper. At the edge of sense, non-sense. In David Scher’s new work he continues the development of a personal vernacular in tangible form; a development that began when he drew his first sketchbook at only three years old. Drawing comes as naturally to him as hammering nails. “As the universe does not have an idea, neither do these paintings. Why establish a stopover between oblivions ?” (Scher 2010)

Words that come to mind when thinking of Scher’s work include, but are not limited to, humorous, ingenious, prodigious, and multifarious, biting, generous, and inimitable. Each drawing and painting is a world unto itself, while a language of figures, exquisite line, and mark-making link one to the next. In each of these worlds there is a provocative sense to Scher’s non-sense. Bugs, creatures, flyswatters, three-legged figures, and odd men and women populate his imagery. “My…approach consists of establishing fields where multiple things occur in proximity. These are familiar fields, including walls, tabletops, stages, shores, and pages. My work is composed within these constructs using diverse mediums and instruments as the subject demands.”
