Exhibition
CINDY SHERMAN - Spruth Magers (London)
Sprüth Magers London is delighted to present new work by artist Cindy Sherman. For this series Sherman has assembled
a cast of uniquely individual characters on large photographic murals, marking a departure within Cindy Sherman’s
artistic practice from the format of the framed photograph.
Since the beginning of her career in the mid 1970s Sherman has used herself as the ostensible ‘canvas’ in her works,
seamlessly combining the roles of director, model and photographer to create an array of intriguing and provocative
personas. Whilst the photographs feature Sherman as the sole human subject, they do not, however, convey her likeness as
a self-portrait would. A remarkable performer, in this latest work Sherman captures the subtle distortions of her face and
body on camera, rendering her almost unrecognizable as she adopts outrageous guises and utilises her recent embrace of digital techniques to manipulate the scale of each character, their features, and their surroundings.
