Post lot text

Membre de l'Académie royale des arts du Canada, Tony Scherman a fait l’objet de plus d’une centaine d’expositions personnelles à travers le monde, au Canada, aux États-Unis, en Europe, à Hong Kong ou encore à Pékin. Il est présent dans les collections du Los Angeles County Museum, du Denver Museum of Art, du San Diego Museum, du High Museum Atlanta, du Birmingham Museum of Art, de la Library of Congress, Washington, de la Contemporary Arts Society London, du Arts Council of Great Britain, du Centre Pompidou à Paris, au FRAC Île-de-France et au Schlossmuseum Murnau en Allemagne. Ses œuvres à l’encaustique dégagent une mélancolie presque romantique. Le relief de la cire confère à ses portraits une profondeur du regard, poignante, qui semble témoigner d’une sincérité troublante et touchante à la fois. Emma Bovary semble ici figée, l’incompréhension de son regard vulnérable lui donnant presque une allure enfantine et naïve.

‌A member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts, Tony Scherman has been the subject of more than one hundred solo exhibitions throughout the world, in Canada, the United States, Europe, Hong Kong and Beijing. His work is included in the collections of the Los Angeles County Museum, the Denver Museum of Art, the San Diego Museum, the High Museum Atlanta, the Birmingham Museum of Art, the Library of Congress, Washington, the Contemporary Arts Society London, the Arts Council of Great Britain, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the FRAC Île-de-France and the Schlossmuseum Murnau in Germany. His encaustic works exude an almost romantic melancholy. The relief of the wax gives his portraits a poignant depth of gaze, which seems to testify to a disturbing and touching sincerity. Emma Bovary seems frozen here, the incomprehension of her vulnerable gaze giving her an almost childlike and naive look.
