Experience “Cosmic Flow,” a mesmerizing mixed-media epoxy acrylic painting by contemporary artist Jack Sher, whose innovative resin-based technique—Monostructure, a process he pioneered—creates otherworldly dimensional surfaces and flowing organic forms. This 18×26 in. artwork reveals undulating, cell-like patterns and molten color transitions, merging the aesthetics of fluid art, cosmic abstraction, and geological formation imagery. A standout acquisition for collectors of epoxy resin art, contemporary mixed media, abstract expressionism, and immersive textural surfaces.
Cosmic Flow is a significant example of Jack Sher’s groundbreaking Monostructure technique, in which layers of acrylic pigment are manipulated through pressure, heat, directional pulls, and flowing viscosity before being sealed beneath glass-like epoxy. The result is a hyper-dimensional organic landscape resembling aerial terrain, cellular biology, lava flow, or deep-space nebulae.
The painting consists of undulating coral, rose, black, and ember-toned channels that twist and converge like tectonic veins. Sher layers pigments in rhythmic waves resembling the natural geometry of shells, fibers, and biological membranes. The glossy epoxy finish amplifies color depth and creates a sculptural sheen, making the artwork appear alive under shifting light.
The signature “Jack Sher” appears in the lower left.
Emotionally, Cosmic Flow conveys movement, evolution, and natural expansion—an invitation to contemplate creation at both microscopic and cosmic scales. Sher’s intention has long been to express “the architecture of energy,” turning invisible natural dynamics into tactile visual forms. Born of experimentation, technical control, and scientific curiosity, the piece represents both his personal philosophy and the culmination of years refining a unique contemporary medium.
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 (b. mid-20th century, United States) is an American contemporary artist celebrated for inventing the Monostructure technique—a complex, multi-stage process that merges acrylic pigment, resin, pressure dynamics, and directional flow manipulation to produce highly dimensional abstract surfaces. Born in the northeastern United States, Sher showed early inclinations toward both science and visual art, later studying fine art and experimental materials at regional art institutes where he explored unconventional surfacing techniques.
Throughout the 1970s–1990s, Sher developed his signature resin-enhanced method, eventually refining Monostructure into a repeatable yet unpredictable system rooted in natural physics. Influenced by Abstract Expressionism, biomorphic surrealism, geological patterning, and fluid-dynamics research, Sher’s work straddles the worlds of art, chemistry, and organic philosophy.
Sher has practiced primarily in New York and the Mid-Atlantic region, where his studio became known for highly experimental process-based artworks. His pieces have appeared in curated group exhibitions focusing on new materials, abstract surface technologies, and innovations in contemporary media. Collectors prize his work for its depth, luminous color, and the rarity of his fully executed Monostructure compositions.
Sher’s approach is deeply intuitive: he often describes painting as “discovering the natural architecture within movement.” Each work begins with layered pigment pools, guided across the surface by hand and tool, then sealed under epoxy to create a permanent crystalline shell. His art expresses a narrative of growth, pressure, flow, and evolution—reflecting decades of technical mastery and intellectual curiosity.

MONOSTRUCTURE is a groundbreaking creative process pioneered by artist Jack Sher, where science tangoes with artistry in a dazzling display of innovation. Each work begins with freehand sketches on Mylar, a super-strong substrate that withstands the chemical reactions at play, unlike its fragile paper counterparts.
Sher meticulously outlines the sketches with precise 1/8th” high lines that define each partitioned segment. What follows is a masterclass in chemistry—26 specially formulated chemicals are deftly blended, igniting a controlled evolution of the design over a three-week period. This catalytic transformation breathes life into the artwork, resulting in intricate patterns that are both alluring and evocative.
Finally, Sher infuses each piece with color and personal touch, hand-finishing them to perfection. Although every image is signed and sequentially numbered, each piece remains a one-of-a-kind gem within the series, ensuring that no two Monostructures are ever alike. Dive into Sher’s whimsical world of MONOSTRUCTURE and watch as the boundaries of art and science blur beautifully.
