Oil on wood panel Edition: Unique, Unframed. Emily Berger layers paint in gestural, horizontal swaths from left to right, stacking the horizontal bands from top to bottom of the surface. An interplay of complementary colors creates a sense of push pull, endowing her compositions with nuanced luminosity. Scraping and scumbling the layers of paint, Berger gives her paintings a textured, painterly, material presence. Her work is included in numerous private and public collections, including Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Art, Whitney Museum of American Art Library. Emily Berger is a member of American Abstract Artists.
