About the Item
Have we evolved since 9/11? Are we embarking on the dark march to whatever it is we’re globally approaching? It’s not easy to pose such an emotive philosophical question on canvas; but using the literary reference from Tennessee Williams’ heroine Blanche DuBois and through metaphor and imagery Berlin addresses the complexities of this global issue. He sees a tragedy of brutish masculinity and how it resonates today as countries cast their lot with charismatic (sometimes), macho brutes. Those collectors familiar with Berlins work will be able to read his message loud and clear. For those as yet unfamiliar with Berlin it may be necessary to look closely at the painting and cross refer to his previous Sharp Edge New York City style of Neo-Expressionism and then it will reveal the narrative in detail. Berlins Neo-Expressionist paintings flash and pop with neon colour and there’s real depth in his characters and representations.

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.
