Iris. A. Berger
Personal Profile
Iris Anne Berger was educated at Camberwell College of Art, London and Reading University. Her repertoire is wide; in particular she specializes in Expressionistic and Representational art, but endeavours to push the boundaries associated with these genres forward, and in so doing attempts to forge new art forms. Her series of paintings entitled Anne Frank, Refugees, and Aftermath, are concerned with the consequences of human oppression and human made environmental disaster. These paintings strive to capture the dialectical relation between hope and despair in the narrative of human life. In her apple paintings Berger represents the 'imploded temporality' , i.e., the change in inanimate yet natural matter, over a specific time-period through recourse to static media. Berger has travelled widely in the Far East, and in her Korean Series attempts to synthesize images of ancient myth with modern cityscapes.
