Artists in Our Aisles

Sherman Aronson

Drawing is how I look at the world, think about my work, and dream. My professional architectural work has focused on historic preservation, transportation and green design. My art is an extension of that interest and passion. As an artist and an architect, I look closely at the places we share, build and grow. I work with pencil, ink, watercolor, and digital drawing on an iPad and the PC. My work has been shown in many Philadelphia galleries and exhibition spaces.

In recent years, I developed a series of images called “Green Cities/Urban Nature” to illustrate the importance of green spaces within our cities. Even in the dense urban contexts where we live, the trees, flowers, gardens and woods offer a sense of well-being and direct environmental benefit. I hope that these images enable people to look at our neighborhoods with a fresh view and to see places with visual dynamism.

I also explore simple forms, colors and shapes in still life settings and abstract designs, linoleum block prints and line drawings that are spontaneous, energetic and exploratory. Many of them express a sense of urban context.
