About the Item

"Untitled, 2024" is a new 20cm x 20cm painting skillfully crafted with acrylic paint, ink, and glass beads on hand-stretched linen. Drawing inspiration from James Ensor's diabolic motifs and A. R. Penck's neo-expressionistic style, the artist seamlessly blends influences into a unique visual narrative. The addition of glass beads introduces tactile intricacies, inviting viewers to explore the dynamic composition. Ideal for intimate spaces and expansive collections, the piece is a testament to the artist's versatility and engagement with art history. The work's unique processes, along with its rich provenance, contribute to its significance. As an untitled gem within the artist's larger body of work, this painting promises to captivate collectors with its nuanced dialogue between historical influences and contemporary expression.

    Sax Berlin's Sharp Edge 21st Century NYC Style Sometimes there is a coming together of spirit or intuition, it happens for no discernible reason and is a jolt to the psyche to find others in step with ones own dance.

Imagine how astounded I was to find these latest paintings from Sax Berlin arrive as I was starting to delve into Prof. Estes book Women Who Run With The Wolves. A happy coincidence and I must confess that I did a little wild woman wolf dance...
