Howard
Hersh, from San Francisco, compares his paintings to Zen Koans,
which are parables and sayings that are pared down to their essence.
The Asian influence is clear in Hersh's minimalistic compositions
of geometry imposed on enlarged plant forms. He is interested in
combining disparate elements, such as nature and architecture, in
paintings that are visually pleasing. The conceptual result of this
is that even things that are not commonly connected can be seen
as being in harmony. He refers to this concept as "the family
of connectiveness." |
