Local Artist Supports National Cause

Wayne Lerman, a local Artist and Architect recently became involved with Community Options to support the Cupid's Chase 5K Run! Lerman will be donating a piece of his fabulous artwork for a silent auction and party taking place on Thursday, February 10, 2011 at the Gunlocke Showroom in Manhattan.

As an architect who designs buildings, Lerman has always considered himself an artist.

"The expression of the art form is the primary expressive form in my buildings utilizing geometry, shapes, color, texture, and contradiction. It is these elements which I believe make interesting structures which have expression and meaning," stated Lerman. "In my art, I try to express color, form, and textures."



Lerman's work does not grow from a visible form but develops in how he develops the relationship, color, and texture in a composition that creates visual excitement.

Since Lerman deals with realism every day, abstract expression for him is a way to get out of the box without limitations of budget, function, and rules which are elements in the creation of architecture.



Lerman is new to the world of a painter but believes there is a feeling he can create in how his clients view his art or his buildings. It is a stimulation which he hopes makes one energized and free to think of what they imagine.

Lerman is a graduate of Pratt Institute School of Architecture. He has had classes in art, jewelry, and sculpture at Summit Art Center. He is currently at the Guild of Creative Art under James Kent. Lerman's work was recently displayed at the Middletown Abstract Art Exhibition and Cask 591 located in West Long Branch.
