JUROR – Charles Sherman 
Los Angeles-based sculptor and jewelry designer Charles Sherman was born in Atlantic City, New Jersey in 1947. His work is informed by a lifelong study of ancient civilizations, world cultures and religions.  The forms he creates are minimalist, conceptual and inspired by sacred geometry. His philosophy of life and art has always been the same: to promote the positive.

Since 2002 Sherman has investigated sculptural forms that express the concept of infinity, especially the three dimensional Möbius ring and variations of the Tetrahedron form.  He works in clay using the most primitive sculpture tools. His ceramic sculptures are hand-built using coil or slab construction. Sometimes he applies glass mosaic to ceramic or wood constructions.   Some sculptures are transformed into cast bronze, stainless steel or welded stainless steel.  In 2006 he began translating his sculptural forms into sterling silver and gold jewelry designs.  

Sherman’s philosophy of life and art are the same: to promote the positive. His intention is to elevate the spirit of the viewer. www.charleshermanart.com
