Galeria Mascota presents Keramics Roger Herman's first solo exhibition at the gallery showing a selection of ceramics.
In his work, Herman continually shift between abstraction and figuration, pair vivid palettes with a variation of vibrant, dark, subtle, neutral colors and shiny bright surfaces with matte earthy tones.
This range of technique is held together by a gestural rawness and vibrancy that is inherent to each sculpture: drips of paint run down the exteriors of the vessels and bowls with occasional window-like holes, sharply cut open, and a variety of imageries: faces, bodies, animals, and diverse figures.
Sizes, textures and colors varies within each piece, Herman's ceramics invites every individual to immerse in the uniqueness and peculiarity of every single piece.
