Presentation by New York-based painter Michael Berryhill on April 21
Apr 13, 2015
Michael Berryhill’s work occupies the territory between drawing and painting, fusing an intuitive expressionism with a highly self-aware painterly language built from previous art historical styles. While his works are fundamentally synthetic in their combination of diverse influences, he strives to extend beyond a catalog of cultural or historical references.
