Sax Berlin
White Faced Harlequin, Contemporary Figurative Painting

2015

About the Item

Fully costumed Harlequin sits before the hot swirling background looking reflective after his performance. With his ceruse coated face he is the archetypal image of our perception of the character. Berlin has masterfully created this work to represent the duality of Harlequin; outwardly calm but internally flaming with intense emotion and desire.

  • Firebird: Ashes to Ashes. Contemporary Figurative Oil Painting
    By Sax Berlin
    Located in Brecon, Powys
    Sax Berlin "Firebird: Ashes to Ashes" The Firebird - half formed, half realised, rises from the ashes of creation to take his place for eternity. Berlin is a highly symbolic artist, almost metaphysical in his work; this piece is no exception; his Firebird in this portrayal symbolises the re-birth of acting. Swirling in the maelstrom there's a three dimensional quality to this painting, rich shades of red writhe behind the figure who has been forged in the heat, delicate, earthly greens intimate the cooling dust and the Firebird quietly waits. His golden collar reflects the fires like a mirror and affixes itself, becoming a part of the organic whole. White Court Art...
