Tony Scherman

Tony Scherman chose to pursue image and figuration, working exclusively in the uncommon wax and pigment encaustic technique. His paintings and works on paper weave through the history of art and embrace image-imprints through the modern technologies of camera work and film.

Scherman’s work is represented in 30 public collections across Canada and
internationally in the Los Angeles County Museum, The Museum of Contemporary
Art, La Jolla, Denver Museum of Art, San Diego Museum, High Museum Atlanta,
The Birmingham Museum of Art, Library of Congress, Washington, Contemporary
Arts Society London, Arts Council of Great Britain, Pompidou Centre, Paris, F.R.A.C.
Ile de France, and the Schlossmuseum Murnau, Germany.Scherman has been a visiting lecturer at numerous universities, art schools and public galleries in England, Canada and the United States since the mid-1970s. He was a sessional instructor at the University of Guelph Department of Fine Art and University of Toronto Department of Architecture and Landscape Architecture in the 1980s.
