Description

In URBAN ABSTRACTION, Don Hershman brings the unseen into focus—reframing the overlooked industrial details of the cityscape as striking works of abstraction. Through a series of 19 meticulously crafted paintings on canvas and wood panel, Hershman transforms fragments of urban life—pavement cracks, garage doors, graffiti textures, and aging building facades—into rich visual compositions that blur the line between the literal and the abstract.

Using pencil, ink, and acrylic, Hershman isolates and elevates these raw details, creating a dialogue between material surface and aesthetic form. What might otherwise fade into the background of daily life becomes the foreground—magnified, reframed, and reimagined. Each painting encourages viewers to not only appreciate its constructed beauty but also to recognize the source: a familiar echo of the environments we move through every day.

By bringing the city’s visual language into the gallery, URBAN ABSTRACTION invites us to reconsider how we define art, how we observe our surroundings, and how beauty often lives in plain sight—just waiting to be noticed.
