Dimitry Gerrman was born in 1955 in Gomel, Belorussia, USSR; a child of Artist: communist Russia. Despite the constraints of a communistic era, at an early age he became interested in sculpture and drawing. As a testament to his remarkable skill, at seven he completed his first sculpture and at 12 he was recognized at the 1967 National Exhibition of Youth Art in Moscow with a Gold Medal for his line etching, “Self Portrait.”

Now over 50 years later, Wally Findlay Galleries is taking inspiration from Exhibition: these early years and is pleased to present Gerrman’s first exhibition of both sculpture and drawing. The juxtaposition of Dimitry’s works on paper with his sculptures lures one beyond the edge of a sculptor’s chisel to reveal the underlying line from which the sculpture is born. The simplicity of the unending line conveyed in one-dimension through ink on paper complies effortlessly with the simplicity of form born in a three-dimensional bronze.

Inspired in his twenties by Rodin sculptures at the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Gerrman continues to explore the French master’s abstraction of form and expressionistic modeling. In doing so, he has recast the old traditions into a contemporary mold. To have the chance to admire and contemplate these line drawings alongside sculpture is to glimpse inside the mind of a creative at work. The result is poetry.

With locations in Palm Beach, New York, Barcelona and Los Angeles; Wally Gallery: Findlay Galleries’ 140-year history has naturally reflected the various “schools” of art of each period. Specializing in Impressionist, Modern Masters and maritime artists, the gallery is also considered one of the foremost authorities on the French School of Rouen. Since the early 1950’s, the gallery has developed a group of distinguished contemporary artists worldwide and continues to celebrate its tradition of presenting exhibitions featuring collections of diverse and outstanding works.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
