Sax Berlin Art
British, b. 1953
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.(Biography provided by White Court Art)

"White Gold Lilies for the Dove of Peace" Contemporary Figurative Oil Painting
By Sax Berlin
Located in Brecon, Powys
A masterwork from a master artist,White Gold Lilies for the Dove of Peace is an immaculate piece, pure colours balanced with earthy hues imbue the work with shades of sumptuous richness seldom found outside the great collections. Nuance and symbolism combine within the elements of this painting to create an artistic journey through antiquity; Japanese wood block design, the language of flowers, even the colours themselves combine so masterfully to complete the piece.
In this large ground breaking painting Berlin has used bright vermillion & turquoise powered tones, volcanic glass and rock garnered from the slopes of Mount Vesuvius create texture and the use of the finest hand ground pigments and pure white gold leaf escalate this seminal piece to a higher plane.
This magnificent painting offers the pinnacle of modern fine art...

What better time than now to introduce Sax Berlin's Mortality series. Since people started creating art works there have been representations of human (and animal) bones; skeletons and skulls. This is a departure for Berlin and he brings his masterly talent to the genre. The Mortality series offers pieces that are in the vein of Neo-Expressionism and Art Brut but they are stamped with Berlin's authority. Redolent of Picasso's work Black Skull and Jug (1946) or the work of Belgian Expressionist...

Heaven's Gate, Jazz Bardo. Mixed Media Contemporary Neo-Classicism
By Sax Berlin
Located in Brecon, Powys
Bardol Thodol literally means liberation through hearing and comes from The Tibetan Book of the Dead. Bardo is the transitional state between death & rebirth. Lovers of jazz and music in general will be all too aware of how one can be transported to this suspended state when listening to music. This state is expressed beautifully in the Tibetan Book of the Dead, and here we quote directly from it
"remember the clear light, the pure clear white light...............Let go into the clear light, trust it, merge with it. It is your own true nature".
