“To me each tomato is a miracle. Each tomato is a new world.”
-Kevin Berlin
Berlin's works on paper follow the Renaissance tradition of drawing from life as the basis for expression and the development of ideas. Whether a tomato, banana peel, nude, or Nutella, these works have a spontaneity and directness that can’t be achieved any other way. Berlin's most recent landscapes are inspired by travels to Bali, Indonesia and Cinque Terre, Italy.
