Opening reception for the artist, Thursday, March 18th, 6 8 pm

Jack Shainman Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of Recent Work, Todd Heberts second solo exhibition at the gallery. Hebert creates hyper-realistic paintings and works on paper featuring common subject matter, from nighttime cityscapes, to snowmen, Christmas lights, and Fourth of July sparklers. His paintings combine areas of sharp focus within blurred compositions that draw the viewer in. Their overall mood is contemplative and detached.

He has been a fellow at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, MA; and the Core Program, Glassell School of Art, in Houston, TX.

His work is included in prestigious public and private collections including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles, CA and the Neuberger Berman Collection, NY.
