Reveling in the translucency, glow, and grit of oils, Ellen Berkenblit pushes and bends paint to its limits, ever experimenting. Her forms and characters—powerful female figures along with their animal familiars—are a vehicle for line and color, drawing us in yet dissolving at close range. Berkenblit’s images evolve through the process of making, morphing out of the visual language she’s developed over many years of practice.
