Discover “Continuum,” a commanding mixed-media epoxy acrylic Masterwork by Jack Sher, the innovator behind the rare Monostructure process—a sculptural, resin-based technique that merges texture, metallic pigment, and layered acrylic to create living, dimensional surfaces. This 17×26 in. A/P artist’s proof is a stunning example of Sher’s biomorphic, grid-meets-geological aesthetic, offering the perfect combination of tactile abstraction, luxurious metallic depth, contemporary texture art, and museum-grade resin finish. A standout acquisition for collectors of epoxy resin art, experimental mixed media, organic abstraction, and process-driven contemporary art.
Continuum represents the height of Jack Sher’s Monostructure technique—an intricate combination of layered pigment, metallic acrylic, directional pressure, controlled heat, and epoxy resin that creates a thick, tactile surface unmatched in contemporary mixed-media practice.
The 17×26 composition features a shimmering, almost topographical grid structure:
Raised linear blocks that resemble woven metallic textiles
Organic, fluid border textures that ripple like molten earth or biological membranes
Coloration in bronze, gold, deep umber, and subtle green-red undertones
A luminous resin finish that captures light and amplifies dimensionality
The surface transitions between rigidly organized grids and free-flowing undulations, evoking themes of order and chaos, evolution, repetition, and the unbroken nature of time—hence the apt title Continuum.
The marking A/P (Artist’s Proof) along the lower border signals Sher’s direct involvement, and in his oeuvre, A/P pieces often include experimental variations or enhanced technical expressions.
The work appears simultaneously geological and cosmological, suggesting cross-sections of mineral strata, encoded signal patterns, or the architecture of natural systems. It embodies Sher’s lifelong fascination with energy, movement, and structure—a kind of sculptural painting that invites scientific curiosity alongside aesthetic appreciation.
Cooper Union School of Art • Wanamaker Medal Recipient • Inventor of “Monostructure”
Born: 1934, New York City
Died: 2000
Nationality: American
Training: Cooper Union School of Art, New York (Scholarship recipient; Wanamaker Medal)
Known for: Monostructure (original technique), experimental chemical art, relief-based abstraction, mylar-based compositions
Active: 1950s–1990s, primarily in NYC
Jack Sher (American, b. mid-20th century) is a contemporary mixed-media artist known for inventing and perfecting the Monostructure technique, a complex process merging acrylic paint, resin, pressure manipulation, and multi-stage curing into a sculptural, highly dimensional surface. Born in the northeastern United States, Sher’s early education blended fine art with chemistry and materials experimentation, ultimately guiding him toward a career defined by technical innovation.
Sher’s work emerged prominently during the 1970s–1990s, a period of rapid expansion in experimental media. His influences include:
Abstract Expressionism
Material-driven contemporary art
Geological and biological patterning
Scientific visualization
Organic structural forms
Working primarily in New York and the Mid-Atlantic region, Sher built a practice centered on pushing the limits of new materials. His paintings often require multi-layer processes involving viscosity control, pigment suspension, directional flow, and resin encapsulation. Each piece becomes a physical record of energy and movement—a core philosophy in Sher’s exploration of nature’s internal architecture.
Sher exhibited in private galleries, contemporary experimental showcases, and curated group exhibitions involving new media. Although he maintains a cult following rather than mainstream commercial saturation, collectors value his work for its rarity, technical sophistication, and uniquely identifiable surface language.
A/P pieces like Continuum hold special importance in his catalog, as they often represent the artist’s direct experimentation and refined evolution of the Monostructure method.

MONOSTRUCTURE is a captivating creative process forged by the innovative artist Jack Sher. This unique approach begins with freehand sketches on Mylar—a resilient alternative to traditional paper that would crumble under the chemical reactions at play. Each design is meticulously outlined with 1/8th inch high lines, creating distinct, partitioned areas ready for a transformative journey.
Sher's artistic magic unfolds as he introduces a proprietary blend of 26 chemicals, painstakingly formulated through extensive experimentation. This catalytic mixture incites a controlled evolution of the artwork, a mesmerizing process that spans approximately three weeks.
Once the design blossoms, Sher employs his skilled hands to add vibrant colors and final touches. While each image is signed and sequentially numbered, no two pieces in the same series are alike—each MONOSTRUCTURE stands as a testament to Sher’s commitment to originality and innovation. Dive into a world where chemistry and creativity collide, revealing a striking visual experience that is as quirky as it is extraordinary!
