This event has ended.

In these layered works, by Emily Berger, painterly grids are both formed and disrupted by color, gesture, and sometimes a looping line that introduces organic form to vertical and horizontal structures.

This geometry may allude to an urban landscape, but it is to a landscape that moves and changes with light and shadow, intense color, and glimmers of nature and figuration. Shape, line and color jostle one another within the grid, actual or implied, and bump up against the edges of the support, animating the surface and creating a partially illuminated depth.

The emotive power of the work resides in its dynamic line and color, in the spontaneity and deliberation of the process of its making and the resulting tension between stability and instability, humor and mystery, the rational and irrational, the hidden and revealed.
