Emotion, Time and Eros in the work of Damon Lehrer and Rick Berry
Review by Grace Dan Mazur in today’s The Arts Fuse : Culture of New England
Comparing Rick Berry’s expressionist paintings with Damon Lehrer’s exquisitely rendered, classical, and contemplative work made me wonder about the expressionist style in general. By this I mean that artistic terrain where the passions, vehemence, or ferocity of the artist so colors the work as to form a powerful but distorting more…
This show brilliantly contrasts two artists, Damon Lehrer and Rick Berry, and the wildly different ways they approach figurative painting.
(For the questions that the artists have for each other see Damon Lehrer’s interview of Rick Berry.)
It Figures. At the William Scott Gallery, 450 Harrison Avenue, #65, Boston, MA. Until September 30
IT FIGURES: Damon Lehrer and Rick Berry opened this weekend and was a great success. A lovely cool September evening in Boston – hundreds of people walking about SoWa Art District touring the open galleries during this festive monthly event. The Willam Scott Gallery was packed for 3 hours. Didn’t have a camera but some pictures by friends (Robert Wiener, Scott Bakal) near closing when crowd had thinned enough to see some more art. Thanks to everyone who came by Friday – you made it such an enjoyable evening.
If you’re in the Boston area, we hope you’ll have a chance to stop by. Open through Sept 3oth.
