He has exhibited extensively in the United States having solo exhibitions at Night Gallery in Los Angeles, CA; Kate Werble in New York, NY, and Derek Eller in New York, NY. Berryhill has been reviewed by John Yau in Hyperallergic, Carrie Moyer in Art in American, in Artforum, and in The Brooklyn Rail, among others. Berryhill’s paintings portrays objects that are “figuratively abstract”. For Berryhill, there’s no difference between realism and abstraction. Influenced by the emerging neo-Nabis style, Berryhill creates enigmatic paintings that arise from drawings and allude to subjects, often human or animal figures.Berryhill's sculptural work is a captivating extension of his soft, ethereal 2-D paintings and we are overjoyed to have this piece in the show!𝘚𝘐𝘚𝘚𝘠𝘍𝘜𝘚𝘚, 2025Foam, wire, plaster tape, papier-mâché, acrylic gouache12.25” x 10” x 3”
