Laura Berger’s “Sentient” at Hashimoto Contemporary SF.

Opening at Hashimoto Contemporary in San Francisco, California at their 816 Sutter Street location is artist Laura Berger’s solo exhibition, “Sentient.”

Concise female figures commune, dance and support one another in Berger’s acrylic on panel paintings.  Each character is at once an individual totem and an integral piece of a larger composition upholding the communities created within each of Berger’s paintings.

Shadowy echos of figures mirror their more vivid counterparts, evoking a sense of history and unity as in Next Life, pictured above. These ghostly apparitions seem to lend their support and serve as a reminder of past generations.

The new paintings created for Sentient are energized with more vivid and fiery tones, eliciting a sense of power and energy. Berger’s minimalist paintings are imbued with a deep reverence for community and togetherness paired with a perceptive sensitivity that emanates hope.

The exhibition will be on view until December 22nd, 2018.

Tomorrow! Come visit our solo show opening with new project on view in Dallas in Gallerie Urbane (8th of September, 6-8pm). Slighted Altered project is about how human alter nature environment.
