About
Stan Berning is a former gallery owner, teacher, author, painter, and printmaker whose figurative abstractions shift between refracted landscapes and the human form reimagined.
"Being a painter, I was born in 1951 already an antique. After a lifetime of creating images in this post modern world I have come to champion no 'isms.' Taking to heart my eighty-year-old friend's reminder that his generation made sure everything had been done, I have proceeded to do everything in each painting," muses Stan about a recent series of oils.
An intriguing side note: Stan's paintings became the focus of the 2003 film "Off the Map" starring Joan Allen and Sam Elliott, which follows a family living off-grid near Taos and the tax-auditor-turned-artist who embraces their way of life.
