L aura Berger’s sensuous paintings explore themes of interdependence and self-understanding. The artist’s compositions feature figurative archetypes, intuitive colour palettes and dreamlike minimalistic environments. Initially approaching painting as a therapeutic practice, Berger’s work articulates experiences and memories that feel just out of reach—perhaps existing on a more spiritual or emotional plane. Based in Chicago, USA, Berger’s work blurs the lines between the arts and crafts by drawing minor, playful characters that inspire a childlike curiosity. Solo exhibitions of Berger’s have occurred at Hashimoto Contemporary in New York City (2020) and Hashimoto Contemporary in San Francisco (2018).

拉 ‧ 伯格(Laura Berger)以其充滿感性的畫作,探索互相依賴及自我認知的主題。其作品的特色是以具象作為原型、色調運用符合直覺,以及如夢似幻的極簡環境空間。伯格最初將繪畫視為治療手法,其作品表達出感覺上難以觸及,也許傾向存在於精神或情感層面的經歷及記憶。伯格長駐美國芝加哥,她的作品模糊了藝術與手工藝之間的界線。其筆下那些俏皮愉快的小角色,激發人們如孩童般的好奇心。伯格曾在紐約市橋本當代藝廊(Hashimoto Contemporary)(2020 年)及舊金山橋本當代藝廊(2018 年)舉行個展。
