About the Artist
Ernest Shaw
Ernest Shaw completed his residency in psychiatry at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in 1970. He did not begin sculpting until 1973, but he quickly became incredibly proficient and productive in this art form. Shaw created a considerable number of large sculptural works of complex and daring composition and design. Quite often these works are conceived as several interrelated but individual parts of a sculptural grouping designed to make up a whole. His sculptures are in many major museums across the country as well as in numerous corporate and private collections.
“In my work I seek to balance spontaneity with concentration, intellect with feeling, power with restraint - to follow mystery and beauty and sprint. Art for me is the persistent search for elusive truths, a fulfilling way of being and knowing.” 1981
