Fine line and black and grey realism in La Jolla
Gerson's portfolio covers both sides of his style. On the fine line side: the hands of Creation framing a black sun, a forearm piece with a dove, a tree in a circle and a dragonfly, and a date in Roman-numeral script. On the realism side: a warrior portrait with a mounted knight, a tiger, a sacred heart with a crown of thorns on the chest, and a framed portrait of two nuns.
