The inspiration for his artwork comes from surrealism, classical fine art and street art. The combination of each of these elements with his storytelling creates a new experience for each viewer. Every piece that he creates has a meaning behind it. His work engages themes of spirituality and unlocking the latent potential that lies within every soul. He is inspired to make changes in the world through his artwork.
Sherwin Long is an illustrator and freelance artist from Boston, Massachusetts. He graduated with a BFA in Illustration from Massachusetts College of Art and Design. He has a wide variety of work and a technique that is extremely versatile, with mediums ranging from acrylic and watercolor to charcoal and pastel drawings. The size of his work is just as diverse, with small pieces painted on wood surfaces to larger pieces painted on canvas. His work is heavily influenced by the graffiti and murals in his community with a splash of fine art, making his work unique. He is mainly inspired by hip hop music, poetry, spirituality, mythology, and architecture. Sherwin has displayed his work in local businesses and libraries, and has also had the opportunity to teach art classes in his community. Art has always been his passion and a crucial part of his life from an early age, so he enjoys the chance to expand the imagination of young minds. He has also participated in various community events and has hosted cultural events in collaboration with other artists in hopes to provide his community with access to view and purchase fine art and to provide a platform for local artists to display their work or perform.
