Cubist Sun (1954)  

Goache 17 x 11 1/2"
The vibrancy and clarity of the colors in the center of this  composition are offset by the softer, blending of colors on the piece's perimeter.  I love the unique representation of the center sun and the varied use of texture and hue to create a truly striking work of art. 

Dancer

Goache 14” x 11”

Another elegant creation from Ori’s study of a dancer’s graceful movements, this enlivened composition with its splendidly floating central figure conveys drama onto the canvas and the beauty of original art to your home.

Getting There Swiftly

22” x 14”

Aren’t the colors in this astonishing painting extraordinary?  Ori has outdone himself in another grand illustration of the his fascination with human movement as men speed across the canvas, encased by life’s varying auras and rapturous hues.

Jungle Fever

22” x 20”

Autumn colors are regaled in their profound splendor in this magnificent abstract from the enlightened hand of an accomplished artist.  As always, Ori’s compositions are complex and interesting as he delights the eye with a glimpse into his brilliant imagination.

Anatomical Self-Portrait

20” x 15”

This lively creation from the mind of a visually gifted talent speaks volumes in its complex vibrancy.  There is pure magic in this art.

 

 

Eden

Ori’s signature muted colors are beautifully complemented by the vivid blues and reds in this whimsical representation of the Garden of Eden.  Love the clever infusion of the snake!

 

 

Mystery Fish

11” x 8 ˝”

The simplicity of this composition and Ori’s creative color choices make this a delightfully fluid work of texture, contrast and movement.

Floral Rebirth

This painting is a departure from Ori’s characteristic use of color. Gone are the muted browns and the somewhat melancholic subject matter in this rebirth of floral beauty.  From the lovely vibrant pinks and yellows of the under-bloom a manifestation of new life is seen in a plethora of even more powerful hues!  Evoking a feeling of hope and joy this artistic piece blesses the world.

Dancer (1955)

Goache 21 1/2" x 12 1/2"
Ori had an amazing sense of space and composition.  I am also impressed by his choice of color.  In the majority of his work, you will see muted grays and browns effectively creating a somewhat somber mood. This piece incorporates those colors, but in a more subtle fashion. The gray in the dancer's dress is offset by the bright colors surrounding her. The blues and reds are vibrant and enliven the picture.  Note how the shape of the vase mimics that of the dancer.

 

Death Scene (1948)

Goache 22 1/4" x 14"
This representation of a funeral scene is anything but somber.  Though the woman may be grieving, the composition conveys hope. Note the thriving tree that springs forth from the grave! Look at the symbolic birds hovering above the earth. The lively, enervating colors, even in a death scene, are uplifting.  I love this composition and the empathy that Ori expresses for his subject.

 Dry Still Life (1955) 
Goache 24” x 18”  Framed.
This is perhaps my favorite of Ori's works. The unique use of muted colors in this still life is Ori's characteristic style. However, look at the soft pastels and brighter purples in the shadows. The mastery of space and seeming wildness of the subject matter evokes feelings that are more primative than what one usually senses in a still life flower vase. This piece is magical!

Totem

10” x 14”

This spectacular work is a testimony to Ori’s intensity and strength.  A rainbow of color transforms the canvas, forever conveying the inspired vision of this artistic soul.

Mummy

17 ˝” x 12”

This is an early work from Ori Sherman, a vibrant composition worthy of a special place in your world.  The artist’s passion for festive color and varied shapes are well represented in this vivid piece. 

 

 

 Van Gogh Landscape (1950)
Goache 11 1/2" x 17 1/4"
This beautifully creative representation of a lake scene exemplifies Ori's mastery of color and space.  The soft, muted colors characteristic of his work are magnificently incorporated into this breathtaking composition.  The lovely sky and landscape colors are magically mirrored in the vast body of water. 

 

Battle for Jerusalem (1988)

Goache 11 1/2" x 18"
Note the marching god/bird overhead. 

                                                              

 

Spring Invasion (1988)
10 1/2" x 13 1/2" Framed.  Artillery fire is superimposed against the bucholic splendor of spring.  World's collide as man's worst side inflicts itself upon nature's best.  A powerful statement.  

Equanimity

14” x 11”

This powerful artistic statement on the human condition is pure Ori.  The serenity of the background is confounded by the complex emotions of the artist’s subjects. 

Charcoal

18”1/2” x 23”

This original charcoal sketch from the gifted hand of Ori Sherman reflects the artist’s mastery of movement, composition and creative use of space.

Adoring Fans

18” x 22 ˝” Pencil Drawing

From Ori’s cache of  pencil sketches, this is a rare mystic study of reverence and movement.
