Experience an exclusive virtual studio tour with Stan Berning, a multifaceted artist whose work blends figurative abstraction with unique landscapes. Discover his creative process and the inspiration behind his art, including insights into his acclaimed paintings featured in the film "Off the Map." Join us for this captivating artistic journey.
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.
