Gerry Bergstein

Gerry Bergstein has been widely considered one of the most influential painters in this region since the 1980s. Still, Bergstein’s penchant for producing eruptions of unexpected imagery is undiminished. His work teems with cascading figures plucked from art history and his own life. It’s a centuries-spanning reunion of Bergstein’s very extended family of relatives, friends, and figures he’s borrowed from the work of Jean-Leon Gerome, Rene Magritte, Max Beckmann, Vija Celmins, John Currin, Matt Groening and many, many others.
