Milton Sherrill's work evokes the timeless structure of the classical lost wax bronze technique. An artist of underrecognized brilliance, Milton Sherrill descends from an African American sculpture lineage that includes Richmond Barthe, Elizabeth Catlett and current practitioners such as Vinnie Bagwell and Basil Watson. Mr. Sherrill's subjects whether historical giants such as Harriet Tubman, Martin Luther King and Barack Obama, or depictions of regal African women and men, connote power, resilience and intrinsic beauty. Milton Sherrill's Futuristic sculptures conjure up the possibilities of future freedom with subjects seemingly devoid of race and color escaping the restrictive and racist confines of earth in search of far off lands of prosperity and opportunity. Milton Sherrill is a national treasure who's day in the sun is near and much deserved.
