In 1976, he was included in the notable and controversial exhibition{{cite news | url=https://www.nytimes.com/1976/09/05/archives/art-view-a-british-show-built-of-human-clay.html | title=Art View | newspaper=The New York Times | date=5 September 1976 | last1=Russell | first1=John }} entitled "The Human Clay",{{cite web | url=http://www.geocities.ws/pantherprousa/bacon/humanclay.html | title=The Human Clay|website=Geocities.ws }} organized by artist R.B. Kitaj for the Arts Council of Great Britain (now Arts Council England). Scherman was the youngest of the 48 artists, which included Frank Auerbach, Francis Bacon, David Hockney, Peter Blake and Henry Moore. The exhibition originated at the Hayward Gallery in London and then toured galleries in England, Wales, Scotland and Belgium.{{cite web | url=https://howard-hodgkin.com/exhibition/hayward-gallery-1976 | title=Hayward Gallery – 1976 · Howard Hodgkin |website=Howard-hodgkin.com| date=29 August 1976 }}

Scherman returned to Toronto in 1976 with his wife, British artist Margaret Priest.[https://www.wag.ca/about/press/media-releases/read,release/630/renowned-canadian-artist-tony-scherman-coming-to-winnipeg-to-mark-wag-show] {{dead link|date=August 2022}} He was soon recognized as an emerging artist with a growing international presence.{{cite web | url=https://digitalarchive.tpl.ca/objects/224610/tony-sherman-31-has-an-international-reputation-as-an-arti | title=Tony Sherman, 31, has an international reputation as an artist who can draw, paint and sculpt|website=Digitalarchive.tpl.ca}}{{cite web | url=https://digitalarchive.tpl.ca/objects/224602/strange-study?ctx=2c3172bb03ac8b45f961c7d767dc51315bd19016&idx=1 | title=Strange study |website=Digitalarchive.tpl.ca}} He continued to be based in Toronto with more than 100 solo exhibitions in Canada, the United States, England and Europe and has been a visiting lecturer at numerous universities, art schools and public galleries in England, Canada and the United States since the mid-1970s.{{cite web | url=https://lfasbluedogpress.wordpress.com/2012/02/09/tony-scherman-presents-for-arts-matter/ | title=Tony Scherman Presents for Arts Matter |website=Lfasbluedogpress.wordpress.com| date=9 February 2012 }}{{cite web | url=https://smithcollegeart.tumblr.com/post/133085119422/tony-scherman-lecture-and-exhibition-smith | title=Smith College Department of Art|website=Smithcollegeart.tumblr.com}}{{cite web | url=https://art.ua.edu/resources/visiting-artists/ | title=Visiting Artists and Lecturers – Department of Art and Art History |website=Art.ua.edu}} Scherman was a sessional instructor at the University of Guelph Department of Fine Art {{cite web | url=https://www.uoguelph.ca/registrar/calendars/graduate/2012-2013/gradawards/gradawards-arts.shtml | title=College of Arts Internal Awards | XI.

In 1987, he was one of 48 Canadian artists commissioned by the Cineplex Odeon Corporation for works to be installed in cinema complexes in Canada and the United States. His 5.18 metre wide painting The Comfort of Food was installed at the Cinemas in Oakbrook a suburb of Chicago.David Burnett, “Cineplex Odeon, The First Ten Years” (Toronto: Cineplex Odeon Corporation, 1989) p. 86-87 Scherman was part of the competition team for the Toronto public commission Cloud Gardens in the 1990s. In 2015, Scherman was commissioned by Western University to paint the portrait of former Chancellor Joseph Rotman.{{cite web | url=https://news.westernu.ca/2016/09/evolution-self-reflected-portraits/ | title=Western News - Evolution of self reflected in 'Portraits' |website=News.westernu.ca| date=29 September 2016 }} His painting Poseidon, 2007, is featured on the cover of Dr. Gerald Cupchik's book The Aesthetics of Emotion, Up the Down Staircase of the Mind-Body.{{cite book|url=https://www.cambridge.org/ca/academic/subjects/psychology/social-psychology/aesthetics-emotion-down-staircase-mind-body?format=HB|title=The Aesthetics of Emotion : Up the Down Staircase of the Mind-Body|author=Gerald C.

Scherman died from cancer on February 28, 2023, at the age of 72.{{cite web| url=https://www.legacy.com/ca/obituaries/theglobeandmail/name/anthony-scherman-obituary?id=50024605 |title=Anthony Scherman |publisher=Legacy.com |access-date=2023-03-11}}

Scherman’s work considers the human condition in paintings and works on paper that are done in thematic series. These visual investigations are drawn from the mythologies of antiquity, the narratives and characters of the Shakespearean tragedies, Hamlet and Macbeth, and historical events that have formed and shaped the world today. Scherman, however, does not rely on illustrating dramatic moments, a characteristic of history painting, but employs a range of subject matter—portraits, animals, flowers and food—as stand-ins and visual metaphor, and imagining what is not written. His Macbeth paintings from the mid-1990s were given the series title Banquo’s Funeral.{{cite book | url=https://e-artexte.ca/id/eprint/10483/ | isbn=9782920394421 | title=Tony Scherman : Banquo's Funeral = Tony Scherman : Les funérailles de Banquo | year=1996 | publisher=Galerie d'art Leonard & Bina Ellen Art Gallery }} While Banquo was murdered in Shakespeare’s play, the funeral was not written in. Curator Karen Antaki wrote: “Scherman suspends the…narrative frame and proceeds to invent his own meta-text and to plot its wayward course.” Karen Antaki, Tony Scherman: Banquo’s Funeral (Leonard & Binna Ellen Art Gallery, Concordia University) p4

In the late 1990s, Scherman addressed the social and political upheaval of the French Revolution, which he titled About 1789.{{cite web | url=https://www.templon.com/new/exhibition.php?la=en&show_id=283 | title=Galerie Templon - Exhibition |website=Templon.com}} As with his mythology and literature sources, Scherman created a meta-text through images in order to present a visual language beyond dramatic moments. In contrast to Eugène Delacroix’s 1830 heroic-image painting Liberty Leading the People Scherman devised Jacques: The New Boss {{cite web | url=https://collection.sdmart.org/objects-1/info/18369 | title=San Diego Museum of Art - Jacques|website=Collection.sdmart.org }} The rooster is an old Gallic symbol revived to express national resurgence during The French Revolution and now the unofficial national symbol of France. This cycle of paintings and works on paper culminated in the exhibition Chasing Napoleon.{{cite web | url=http://www.cameronandhollis.uk/chasing-napoleon/ | title=Cameron & Hollis|website=Cameronandhollis.uk }}{{cite web | url=https://artmuseum.utoronto.ca/exhibition/chasing-napoleon/ | title=Chasing Napoleon |website=Artmuseum.utoronto.ca}} The architects and minor figures of the First French Empire, Napoleonic France and the Third Reich were intertwined in a narrative of tyranny, ambitions and inflicted suffering. Critic Jacques Henric underscored the complexities of About 1789 and Chasing Napoleon: “The French Revolution is not only the preparation, the dress rehearsal and the quintessence of what would constitute the horrible grandeur and the superb infamy of the centuries that followed [but also the] perfectly monstrous utopia that the 20th century would attempt to bring about: to make a new mankind.” Jacques Henric, “The Darkest Shadow, The Brightest Light” for “About 1789” (Paris: Daniel Templon, 1997) p. 11

Scherman expressed the horror of the Third Reich in a painting with a horse subject for Oradour.{{cite web | url=https://www.templon.com/new/exhibition.php?la=en&show_id=283&display_work=1 | title=Galerie Templon - Exhibition |website=Templon.com}} A horse is depicted grazing in a meadow but the title refers to the massacre of French civilians by the German Waffen-SS in 1944, but as Scherman has noted, the painting’s significance is absent if the massacre is not known by a viewer; “the panting’s meaning is that it’s just a horse painting [and that] happens with all art all the time.” “Tony Scherman in conversation with Sanford Kwinter and Bruce Mau” from Chasing Napoleon (Cameron & Hollis, 1999) p. 109 The Chasing Napoleon exhibition was organized by Curatorial Assistance Travelling Exhibitions {{cite web | url=https://curatorial.com/past-exhibitions/scherman-chasingnapoleon | title=Chasing Napoleon: Paintings by Tony Scherman|website=Curatorial.com }} and toured to public galleries in the United States and Canada in 2001-2002.{{cite web | url=https://www.noelartmuseum.org/past-exhibitions-1 | title=Past Exhibitions |website=Noelartmuseum.org}}{{cite web | url=https://oklahoman.com/article/2745860/chasing-napoleon-not-short-on-meaning | title='Chasing Napoleon' not short on meaning|website=Oklahoman.com}}

A related exhibition Unthinkable Thoughts, with a focus on works on paper, circulated to galleries in Canada in 2004-2007.{{cite book |isbn=978-1896749235|title=Tony Scherman: Pensées Impensables |last1=Scherman |first1=Tony |last2=Holubizky |first2=Ihor |last3=Gallery |first3=Kelowna Art |year=2004 }}

Scherman’s 2007 historical painting series addressed the American Civil War.{{Cite web|url=https://www.pressreader.com/canada/toronto-star/20070322/283304633062775|title=A Civil War-rock 'n' roll mashup|via=PressReader|access-date=11 August 2022}}{{cite web | url=https://bordercrossingsmag.com/article/the-art-of-downside-narrative-an-interview-with-tony-scherman | title=The Art of Downside Narrative: An Interview with Tony Scherman }} Critic Lilly Wei wrote that Scherman chose the conflict because “it was the first war fought on moral terms…an ethical war and a necessary work, premised on the belief that slavery was a non-negotiable evil.” Lilly Wei, “Uncivil War, Unforgiving Nation” for About 1865 (Toronto: Georgia Scherman Projects and New York: Winston Wachtër Fine Art, 2007) p. 5 As with his previous series, there are portraits,{{cite web | url=http://collection.museumlondon.ca/objects/3659/uncle-billy?ctx=cddb74ac-83f3-4826-97c1-c9750a8c80ed&idx=8 | title=Uncle Billy |website=Collection.museumlondon.ca}} animals and food {{cite web | url=http://collection.museumlondon.ca/objects/3656/army-beef-lincoln--friends?ctx=cddb74ac-83f3-4826-97c1-c9750a8c80ed&idx=6 | title=Army Beef, Lincoln & Friends |website=Collection.museumlondon.ca}} and imagined moments;{{cite web | url=http://collection.museumlondon.ca/objects/3657/good-morning-mr-lee?ctx=cddb74ac-83f3-4826-97c1-c9750a8c80ed&idx=7 | title=Good Morning Mr. Lee|website=Collection.museumlondon.ca}} several works are titled “The Dreams of Robert E.

Portraiture has been a critical aspect of Tony Scherman’s painting series. For The Blue Highway, 1999-2002, he worked from photograph sources to depict celebrities who died young and under tragic circumstances. Three of the subjects were musician and performers Jim Morrison,{{cite web | url=https://www.wag100.ca/mobile/main/art/exhibitions/past-exhibitions/display,exhibition/58/tony-scherman-a-major-acquisition | title=Past | Winnipeg Art Gallery|website=Wag100.ca }} Elvis Presley,{{cite web | url=https://www.christies.com/lotfinder/Lot/tony-scherman-canadian-b-1950-the-5216446-details.aspx | title=Tony Scherman (CANADIAN, B. 1950)|website=Christies.com }} and Kurt Cobain.{{cite web | url=https://artmuseum.utoronto.ca/program/egos-icons-portraits-permanent-collections-university-toronto-art-centre-opening/ | title=Opening Reception: Egos and Icons|website=Artmuseum.utoronto.ca }} The subjects for Difficult Women came from diverse walks of life, historical to contemporary, including activists, philosophers, political figures, athletes and celebrities.{{cite web | url=https://www.thechronicle-online.com/opinion/columnists/artcity-difficult-women-join-the-woodstock-art-gallery-collection/wcm/8d3d7ec6-f83e-414a-8bcc-440c42f68e08/amp/ | title=ArtCity: Difficult Women join the Woodstock Art Gallery collection|website=Thechronicle-online.com }} Scherman stated that the term difficult "is often reserved for women of principle and determination; it is rarely applied to men".{{cite web | url=https://seattle.winstonwachter.com/exhibitions/tony-scherman-difficult-women/ | title=TONY SCHERMAN: Difficult Women |website=Seattle.wonstonwachter.com}}
