Newly-Painted Bandiagara Sculptures

I repainted two of the Bandiagara sculptures I'd  worked on last summer. They now seem more related to the Dogon sacrificial altars that inspired them. Each is six-foot tall, polychrome wood. To see the old version, visit here: Bandiagara 01 and Bandiagara 02. (I left Bandiagara 03 just as I'd painted it earlier.)

Fine Art Website | Upcoming Events

I’ve just put together a website of my paintings, hand-painted books, sculptures and collage:
https://ward-schumaker.squarespace.com











In the 10 years I’ve exhibited, I’ve been fortunate enough to hang one-man shows in galleries I admire in Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Shanghai, and Nashville. In 2013, San Francisco Chronicle critic Kenneth Baker named my show at Jack Fischer Gallery one of the ten best shows in the Bay Area of that year.














In late April, Jack Fischer will include 2- and 3-dimensional work at Art Market San Francisco.
In May I’ll appear in a group show, Embossed, at Look & Listen in Saint Chamas, France; and in June at Gallery Molly Krom in New York City (both shows organized by Brooklyn artist Ky Anderson).
In September, I’ll show all new work in a one-man show at Jack Fischer.
And in March-April, 2016, a show at Zeitgeist in Nashville.
















I hope you’ll take time to visit the website:
