Emily Berger, an abstract painter who lives in Park Slope, just launched her beautiful website, another great site designed by Good Form Design.
Berger’s site expresses the unique nature of Berger’s work, which often uses the shapes of the city and architectural structures as a starting point for her highly expressive, colorful work.
Berger uses poetry to describe what she she saw out her window at her old Nevins Street studio. Now she’s in another Gowanus art space and her work just keeps growing by leaps and bounds. It’s exciting. The painting shown is called Ninth Street.
Thought (excerpt)
280 Nevins, Looking West over the Gowanus
Out my window
Shapes rise and fall.
A wooden wall folds into the soft dirt of a grassy hill.
Curved by shadows
Fences undulate across tar,
Black pipes curl like stiff plants
In a tropical garden…
