Current Exhibit in the Gallery
“Almost a Landscape”
On display in the library’s gallery thru October 28th
About the Exhibit:
The familiar language of landscape – sky, water, trees, a horizon. Across these spaces, marks and symbols emerge like traces of another language, woven in the terrain and interrupting what might otherwise seem known. The Gallery at the Metuchen Library is thrilled to present “Almost a Landscape” by Wes Sherman. On display September 1 – October 28, 2026.
Wes has been painting since 1992 and has presented in over 50 solo exhibitions and participated in hundreds of group shows across the United States and Europe. Currently teaching at William Paterson University and Raritan Valley Community College, Wes earned his MFA from Rutgers University. You are also invited to meet Wes and learn more about his art and process at our Artist Reception Sunday, September 27, 2 – 4 pm.
