More Information

Garry Berteig’s work translates memories and experiences into corporeal compositions using paint or pen. His artworks are pervaded by an exquisite mystical consciousness, provoking readings and responses that are elusive and loosely defined. His metaphoric approach encourages deeper readings, going beyond the physical into the unknown, perhaps even the unknowable. The seductive flow of deep colour compliments the strong forms that populate his canvases. Blues, greens and reds regularly form into meteors, kites, or icebergs that seemingly lead us out from his inner vision to a primordial time where understanding begins and core values are formed.
