Sax Berlin"Heroin Kills" Large Contemporary Neo Expressionist Oil Painting2023

About the Item
Heroin Kills is a cry from the soul from Berlin. A contemporary of Basquiat in the New York art scene of the 1980's Berlin was very much on the frontline when it came to witnessing the death and destruction wreaked on young lives by this most insidious of drugs. Many young, contemporary artists were impacted by drugs and their fallout, but Sax was particularly affected by Basquiats premature death at the age of just 27 and this piece is a direct result of that experience and his subsequent musing. Heroin Kills is a plea from Berlin in his unique New York City Sharp Edge style to have the drug regulated and to warn those who may become involved that heroin truly kills. Contemporary art has always had a conscience and the best of contemporary artists, like Berlin, bring it to bear. It's social commentary combined with stunning art in this impressive painting.

Sax Berlin
We are privileged to sell works on behalf of Sax Berlin. Sax, arguably the finest exponent of 21st Century Classicism, has devoted his life to absorbing the culture of art and architecture in Europe, Asia & North America. He is undoubtedly a genius of our times and one of the great secrets of modern art. When one reviews his oeuvre, 10 distinct & separate styles emerge, displaying Berlin’s mastery of his subject. In fact only Picasso has achieved this height of genius. His students and collectors call him “The Master”. Berlin is a unique artist, using techniques mastered during his studies; ranging from antiquity through the medieval and Renaissance to the present; he creates the visual outcomes he wants and that delight collectors. The paintings Berlin has created in his New York, Greek and Cornish studios are of museum quality and are rarely seen in Art Sales offering a combination of beautiful artworks and investment opportunity. Harvard University refer to him as a Master Artist. The President of the Asia Society on Park Avenue, NYC wrote to Berlin that “your work is beautiful” and Bernard Faure, Professor of Asia Studies at Columbia University wrote “your icons really do have a life of their own”. Sax Berlin is a modern Master Painter in the truest sense of the term and follows in the footsteps of the Great Masters of the past.
