A.I.R. Gallery is pleased to announce Neither the Other or Myself, an exhibition by Alumnae Artist Lauren Simkin Berke. Berke will be showing a new body of work, a collection of large painted portraits of the artist’s mother. This is Berke’s fi h solo exhibition in New York City (their third at A.I.R. Gallery). Neither the Other or Myself contains seven large paintings created between 2016 and 2017. These paintings depict the artist’s mother, Carol F. Simkin (1949-2011). Consistent with Berke’s earlier painted work, these portraits are painted enlargements of small freehand ink drawings. Unlike Berke’s earlier paintings, this new series has been created with a much looser hand.
