Only Elephants Should Wear Ivory by Kimber Berry. It is Acrylic and Mixed Media on Canvas, 36x36. This is a layered, dimensional contemporary painting. It is filled with white and vibrant colors including purple, pink, blue, green, and teal. Berry is a California "Flow" artist. Kimber Berry is a Los Angeles artist, who is part of the "Flow Movement," a term coined by Art Critic (and curator) Peter Frank. Her artwork is vibrant and dynamic mixed media combining acrylics, resins and digitally altered photographs of her paint-strokes. As a native of LA, Kimber loves to blur the line between what is real and what is illusion. In this latest series, Plastic Gardens, Kimber addresses the ongoing diminishing natural environments. According to Kimber, "Amongst hundreds of thousands of miles of concrete and steel we feel a distance from nature and are compelled to create green spaces, oasis, parks and gardens of cut grass, pruned trees and waterfalls constructed of painted concrete rocks encircled by highly designed flower beds, essentially nature on our terms. I've constructed this series of paintings inspired by these plastic gardens." Berry has received a lot of positive attention from art critics and curators on the West Coast and has been featured in solo and group shows in New York, LA, Atlanta and London. She has been in exhibits at the Riverside Museum and the Huntington Beach Art Center in California. Berry has been featured in the magazines Art LTD, Hamptons Cottages & Gardens, Ocean Home...
