Sax Berlin
"Motown Records". Contemporary Neo-Expressionist Painting

2020

About the Item

Sax Berlin followers will already be aware that a second love of his is music. He has created this piece as a tribute to Motown; Berry Gordy Jr's classic record label. Motown music brought racial integration into music in the troubled America of the 1960's and remains an iconic genre well into the twentieth century. Smokey Robinson, himself a soul music legend said of the label, "we were not only making music we were making history", as is Sax Berlin with his Sharp Edge 21st century  Neo- expressionist New York City style.  Motown and Berlin cross barriers, breaking down and integrating people with art & music. Listen to Berlin's description of this painting and you will hear his passion and his voice of hope for the future through music and art. Acrylic on canvas

    By Sax Berlin
    Located in Brecon, Powys
    Angel Of Liberty from Sax Berlin's "Sharp Edge 21st Century Neo Expressionist New York City Style" Series It probably only happens once in a lifetime with right alignment of the stars! To work with an artist at the very zenith of his power in the contemporary art world. Sax Berlin has travelled every continent to study to learn how to paint in a myriad complexity of styles. He has served an apprenticeship of decades, always creating the most wonderful paintings in every unique style. Now he has come full circle and his Sharp Edge 21st Century New York City Style reflects the cutting edge of contemporary art. Now painting in a studio in Spain his work has evolved. Spanish art has always been at the forefront of creativity and style. Due in part to the influences of light, colour and landscape that imbue the country, from stark arid plains to verdant mountains. Berlin is inspired by the colours and light to a new vibrancy. His paintings are elemental, "slash and burn" in an amalgam of New York City Street Style and ancient Spanish...
