from Corbett vs. Dempsey's press release for Umberville:
"...Most of all, Berkenblit's paintings present an occasion - an occasion for the application of paint and play with brushy forms, for the unbridled joy of a line or a passage or a daub, a scumble or the introduction of a new pigment. Indeed, in these works a whole new hue has entered the pictures, a group of burnt umbers that have deepened and enriched her palette. The classic flashes of thermonuclear brightness appear, the pinks, purples, reds, greens, blues, but there's an earth-tone baseline that is fresh and exciting..."
A fully-illustrated catalog for this exhibition of her latest work, with an essay by Miciah Hussey, is available. Visit the gallery's website at Ellen Berkenblit - Umberville for more details.
Ellen Berkenblit - Other Shapes at Night
Other Shapes at Night is the third solo show of oil paintings by Ellen Berkenblit at Vielmetter Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA.
On view in Gallery II, the exhibit runs from March 12 through May 7, 2022
A full presentation of the show is available online at Vielmetter Los Angeles, showcasing each work with images and details as well as an insightful essay commenting on her recent work:
"In many of her new works, all painted over the last year, the palette has shifted and warmed, her usual bright colors now wrapped in a diffused, warm light, not dissimilar to the potent interaction of incandescent streetlights and high levels of humidity. The resulting body of work is dreamlike and surreal, heightening the suggestive nature of the artist's compositions, drawing the viewer into an evocative interior space."
