Double Take
These paintings may seem normal at first, but another look will prove that they have an element of surprise that is unique and visually appealing.
When it comes to art, there’s obviously a wide range of things that can classify as that. Sculptures, paintings, ceramic, and other abstract objects can all qualify as art. There are billions of artists in the world today who create these magical pieces. Some do it as a hobby and others choose to make a career out of their talents.Eduardo Berliner is one who is doing the latter and has so far been awarded with great success. Berliner’s paintings aren’t just some beautiful and scenic portrait of nature, fruit or people. He takes it one step further than that by incorporating dark and frightening aspects into his paintings. His styles range from forensically detached depictions of everyday life to improbable works filled with narrative intrigue. Eduardo Berliner was born in Brazil and is a fairly young age of 34. He studied graphic design in Brazil and earned a Masters degree of Arts in Type design from the University of Reading in the U.K. in 2003. He now works as an artist and a professor and worked in the fashion industry for a short time designing motifs for various clothing brands in Brazil. Berliner doesn’t classify his art as drawing or painting because he doesn’t really like to classify things. He explains that when you start drawing very well, then something is probably going wrong because a good drawing initially starts with a bad one. A lot of figures in Berliner’s paintings have animal heads with human bodies or faces on inanimate objects. Whether he’s making a point about humanity, it’s hard to tell. He mixes the reality of everyday life with elements he finds casually, like from a newspaper or other sources. But one thing is for certain, his paintings are so captivating and have so much abstract detail that you’ll be stuck looking at them for quite some time.Info source: http://studytourbrazil.wordpress.com/rio-de-janeiro-2/eduardo-berliner/
