Robert Sherer received his BFA from Georgia State University and his MFA from Edinboro University. He is an internationally exhibiting multimedia artist whose work explores race, gender, sexuality and Southern identity. Psychologists use Rorschach inkblots to analyze patients' interpretations and emotional functioning. The tests are especially useful in cases where sexually repressed patients are reluctant to describe their thoughts openly. There is an undeniable connection between Rorschach images and blood divination. His work with blood as a medium was recently featured in Art Papers. As with all works of art, the only important thing about this piece is what you see in it. Sherer is best known for his use of unconventional media and for four incidents of art censorship. His work is the subject of an art book titled 'Blood Works: the Sanguineous Art of Robert Sherer' published by the KSU Press. He is currently represented by Kunstbehandlung Galerie, Munich, Germany; Sidetracks Gallery, New Hope, PA., and 378 Gallery, Atlanta, GA. He is a professor of art at Kennesaw State University.
