January 2019: Devin Bernard

Devin Bernard’s paintings are inspired by timeless questions: “How do we understand existence? What accounts for our sense of spirituality? What is the best way for people to relate to one another? Historically, answers to these questions have been expressed in myths and metaphors. In the same way, I use visual narratives as a basis for developing meaning in my pictures. Equally important is maintaining a balanced and organized composition through the placement of repeating forms and volumes throughout the painting. This, along with a harmonious balance of color, hopefully results in a feeling of rightness and truth.”
