Sax Berlin Paintings
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)

Angel Of Liberty. Contemporary Neo Expressionist Painting
By Sax Berlin
Located in Brecon, Powys
Angel Of Liberty from Sax Berlin's "Sharp Edge 21st Century Neo Expressionist New York City Style" Series
It probably only happens once in a lifetime with right alignment of the stars! To work with an artist at the very zenith of his power in the contemporary art world. Sax Berlin has travelled every continent to study to learn how to paint in a myriad complexity of styles. He has served an apprenticeship of decades, always creating the most wonderful paintings in every unique style. Now he has come full circle and his Sharp Edge 21st Century New York City Style reflects the cutting edge of contemporary art.
Now painting in a studio in Spain his work has evolved. Spanish art has always been at the forefront of creativity and style. Due in part to the influences of light, colour and landscape that imbue the country, from stark arid plains to verdant mountains.
Berlin is inspired by the colours and light to a new vibrancy. His paintings are elemental, "slash and burn" in an amalgam of New York City Street Style and ancient Spanish...

Wherever one travels to in the world it's inevitable that one sees the heritage of wild-style graffiti.

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.
