About the Item

What better time than now to introduce Sax Berlin's Mortality series. Since people started creating art works there have been representations of human (and animal) bones; skeletons and skulls. This is a departure for Berlin and he brings his masterly talent to the genre. The Mortality series offers pieces that are in the vein of Neo-Expressionism and Art Brut but they are stamped with Berlin's authority. Redolent of Picasso's work Black Skull and Jug (1946) or the work of Belgian Expressionist, James Ensor (1860-1949), Berlin incorporates symbolism and modernism into these vivid eye-drawing paintings. This new collection brings the genre bang up to date. Skulls is the multi-representational depiction of a Pop Art Dia des Muertes. Oil and acrylic on canvas
