Exegesis: Striking Artworks by Marcus Sherman
Published Dec 15, 2022
Artist Marcus Sherman combines book fragments, gilding techniques and oil painting to create unique artworks that are truly mesmerizing.
The artist begins by carefully selecting the text for each artwork. Through his intricate and painstaking process, Sherman takes fragments of the printed word and transforms them into something extraordinary. Featured in his Exegesis series are excerpts from “The Confessions” of Saint Augustine, and Seneca the Younger – “Moral Letters to Lucilius”.
Each Exegesis artwork has its own subtle story and narrative, containing elements both immediately visible as well as hidden beneath the surface. Sherman’s artwork brings together elements from multiple artistic disciplines in order to produce something truly remarkable.
