Abstract Collage on Paper by James Edward Scherbarth: Untitled

A craggy shape in silver, olive and brown, built up like a rock face or a piece of bark.

This untitled abstract collage is mixed media on paper by James Edward Scherbarth, dated 2017 and signed and dated 05-14-2017 on the verso. Many collagists choose papers for texture as much as color, layering them to suggest natural surfaces. A tall irregular form sits at the center of the white sheet. Its upper part is patterned with a grid of silver-blue and gold, a dark textured patch is set into the left side, and a striped scrap of paper forms the base. The edges are torn and uneven. It is 7 inches wide and 10 high.
