Edgar Jerins is a realist artist whose monumental charcoal drawings bring to mind the novels of Russell Banks in their poignant dissection of suffering, loss, family strife, and love.
Edgar Jerins is showing three monumental charcoal drawings at the Pennsylvania Academy off the Fine Arts summer invitational show "Legacies". His work combines extraordinary craftsmanship, composition, and probing insight into the human condition. Learn about Edgar from one of his closest friends and art school roommate, John Thornton.
