TONY SCHERMAN "PROFILE OF SIMONE" PAINTING, 2006Tony Scherman (1950 2023) is one of the most distinctive Canadian artists. He is renowned internationally for his work, typically executed in encaustic, a mix of wax and oil paint (one of the most difficult mediums to work in). Scherman's allusions to both history, and the history of visual art, are constants in his oeuvre.
