Matthew A. Berg

Working primarily in acrylic, Matthew A. Berg creates paintings that move between figuration and abstraction, exploring themes of identity, memory, and the natural world. His work spans intimate panel studies to monumental canvases, employing a range of surfaces including linen, birch panel, and plaster-wrapped forms.

Berg's practice embraces mixed media — incorporating rice paper, conté, charcoal, and gouache — to build layered, textural compositions. From the Sumo residency series to portraits and landscapes, each piece reflects a restless curiosity and a commitment to the painted surface.
