Taking over walls during Florida’s at Red Dot Art Fair, the storied halls of the beloved ArT LoVe GaLLerY will be the home of the new works entitled ‘Shadow Series.’ For the past 25 years Hershman’s use of shadows has always been a component of his paintings, but it wasn’t until the early part of 2022 when the ArT LoVe GaLLerY owner, Jackie Fuchs, prompted him to keenly focus on this subject for a new exhibit.

In this new series of 14 paintin...
