Curated from four bodies of work exploring line as structure, emotion, and identity.
Opening Thursday, October 1, 2026
23 Warren St, New York, NY 10007
Winner of national acclaim, San Francisco-based artist Don Hershman brings four distinct bodies of work together for his New York solo show at Tribeca’s One Art Space.
= OUT OF LINE = traces the evolution of line across agricultural structures, urban surfaces, intimate still lifes, and figure portraiture. By uniting works from The Art of Code Switching (2023), I Am a Barn (2024), Urban Abstraction (2025), and Still/Still (2025), the exhibition highlights Hershman’s refined formal language—where repeated linear marks build color, rhythm, atmosphere, and deep emotional resonance.
“A story of an artist who has refined one formal element into a broad and expressive language capable of carrying architecture, memory, environment, and human experience.”
I AM A BARN (2024): Architectural meditations on resilience, shelter, and rural memory through weathered planks and linear beams.
Urban Abstraction (2025): Layered studies in rhythm and urban tension drawn from city walls, garage doors, and pavement fragments.
Still/Still (2025): Quiet, meditative compositions that transform everyday forms through line and color.
The Art of Code Switching (2023): Striking portraiture exploring identity, visibility, and perception through the human figure.
