Anton Chekhov's The Seagull was a groundbreaking play, where the action happens offscreen. I like that, putting the focus only on the reaction. So that's what I did here. What is she looking at? In my process I make and make and make, learning from each draft as I get closer to what makes my subject truly themselves - sometimes it’s the angle of the eyes, or tilt of the lips. With each portrait I make, I learn more and get closer. It's not a platonic ideal of a person that I strive for, but something in the individual person themselves - their own inner world of Forms. I'm as equally influenced by Matisse and Picasso as I am by Barry McGee and Piet Parra. Modern and contemporary art, street art, comics, and more influence my practice. Comes with my personal certificate of authenticity (because the internet loves to rip people off these days). Best, Duncan Sherwood-Forbes

Duncan Sherwood-Forbes is an American multimedia artist and designer specializing in wire and figurative metalwork. Since 2006 Sherwood-Forbes has used wire to investigate the boundary between sculpture and drawing, using sinuous curving lines to draw through the air and carve negative space into figures and portraits. With work ranging from the minuscule to larger than life, Sherwood-Forbes’ work has brought joy to collectors for almost 20 years. When not creating his wire sculpture, Sherwood-Forbes teaches workshops and experiments with a wide range of media encompassing ceramics, poetry, drawing, and performance. He will be residing in California's Bay Area through the end of 2024.
