Untitled 6 at Soo Visual Arts Center


My work is on display through August 25th at Soo Visual Arts Center in Minneapolis. It is my first juried show and I got some nice press at mnartist.org:

Audrey Bernard does straightforward portraits of people she seems to know—Miss Chimp, David, Davia, others—but imbues them with what painters can give. She sees on a different plane. I don’t know if it’s more truthful or less—but it is different, and it enables us to see differently too. Having this doubled vision suddenly makes the world three-dimensional—it’s like, having lived with one eye all your life, you suddenly are granted binocular vision. Things jump into high relief. They become themselves.
