About the Item
Sherman Yee. Purple, 2020. Watercolor on paper, 9 x 12 inches; 10 x 13 inches frame. Signed on both front and back.
Sherman Yee is a talented artist based in New York City and Fort Lauderdale who has been working in the watercolor, acrylic, and digital/NFT spaces for many years. His work is bold, expressive, and vibrant, drawing inspiration from the male form and exploring the many different facets of masculinity.
One of the most striking aspects of Sherman's work is his commitment to normalizing queer images and relationships. In a world where LGBTQ+ people are still often marginalized and misunderstood, Sherman's art offers a powerful counter-narrative, one that celebrates the beauty and diversity of queer relationships and identities.
For example, his 2019 group show at the Leslie-Lohman Museum, which coincided with the 50th anniversary of Stonewall and World Pride 50, was focused on the Male Gaze and featured works by hero artists such as Keith Haring, Tom of Finland, and Andy Warhol. By showcasing his work alongside such iconic figures, Sherman was able to bring attention to the importance of queer representation in the art world and beyond.
But Sherman's commitment to the queer spectrum goes beyond just showcasing queer relationships and identities in his work. He also seeks to normalize these images, making them part of the everyday visual landscape that we all inhabit. By doing so, he helps to break down barriers and create a more inclusive society for all.
Of course, Sherman's work is not just about queer representation. His paintings and drawings are also incredibly beautiful, using color and form to create rich, expressive works that are full of emotion and life. Whether he's exploring the masculine form or delving into more abstract themes, Sherman's work is always engaging and thought-provoking.
