About the Item
These paintings and drawings are based on a structure of repetitive and deliberate gesture that is intuitive but carefully considered. Emily Berger brushes, wipes, rubs, and scrapes, incorporating the color, texture and pattern of the paper, linen or wood supports, concealing and revealing underlying layers in various states of transparence and solidity. Taking her time about where to make the marks and how to make them, adding and subtracting with brushes, rags, and sandpaper.
She works with and against whatever happens as she is painting. Sometimes the linear marks go all the way across the page; other times she'll expose more of the surface and shape that is then created. Berger is endlessly fascinated by the variations that can occur in a simultaneously built up and pared down image.
The artist works things out mentally and physically, in this abstract language of mark-making, where the painting is always in the process of becoming and there is evidence of the process.
She allows for those moments where something new comes up, a spark of recognition.
In the rhythm of the bands of paint there are spaces created, and variations in brushstroke which create movement, light, air and a broken symmetry. This is where Berger hopes the viewer can enter and experience the work, pay attention to nuance, slow down, move in and out of the painting and breathe.

A photograph of Emilio, distributed by the gallery, showed a great resemblance to Zero Mostel. He doesn't look like Mostel at all. The picture was taken in Paris last May, when he had the mumps. He was born in Lima in 1928, the son of an industrialist. His father's family came to Peru in the 17th century. Mr. Staempfli met Emilio in Llansa, Spain, last summer. Gordon Washburn, the director of fine arts at the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh, who had shown him last year, told Staempfli to look up Emilio, because he knew a tailor in Llansa who would make you a corduroy suit...Category
