Peter Sherman is an artist represented by Agora Gallery who sees a close connection between visual art and another form of art – contemporary dance. He expresses this through his paintings, which focus on the bodies of dancers in movement. We’re always interested at Agora in the way that visual art connects to, informs and is inspired by other kinds of art, so we’re delighted to share Peter’s thoughts with you here.
Peter is currently working closely with the dancers of Misnomer, and the proceeds from his sales will be going to support their work, in a wonderful example of art supporting art. You can view his paintings in the exhibition The Manifestation of Milieu, at Agora Gallery February 4, 2011 – February 25, 2011 and on ARTmine.
