Insights

Inspired by Cezanne’s quote; “The painter gives concrete expression to his sensations, his perceptions, by means of line and colour”, Berkin is a figurative artist working with the principle that drawing builds a foundation for a successful painting. In the artist’s words, colour should be used to enhance the organisation and definition of observed space and form.

Artist

With a background in science, Berkin is particularly interested in visual perception; understanding how our brains translate the information before us when painting from life, and the subsequent observations one makes of this representation.

notes

Every piece of delicate embroidery, rich tapestry or hand sewn piece of clothing starts with a piece of thread, and ‘Bobbins Study’ is an ode to their variety of diverse, creative possibilities. Constructed in impressionistic, contrasting blocks of vibrant colour, this composition offers the nuances of a still life study that prompts us to contemplate its apparent simplicity, to consider the symbolism and imagination beneath.
