Michel Berberian

Many of us see the artist as a bohemian living by his wits and deviancy, on the fringe of society, without spouse or family life, drinking, on drugs, and eating the soles of his shoes. Michel Berberian use to work in advertising, to live in a single family home with wife and children, he has consumed but the minimum of Côtes du Rhône so as not to pass for a killjoy, and uses his soles to walk on.
Many see the artist as a backward person, or one who is not in tune with a materialist world, simultaneously with the simplest motivation and the most complicated methods. Michel, however, drives his sedan swiftly, knows how to make a business plan, writes commercial sales blurbs, is installing the latest version of Internet Explorer on his i-Mac and an automatic watering system in his yard. As a matter of fact Michel, as opposed to certain painters or rather, to our views of them, is well adjusted. And yet, he is painting. He paints running men (L'Homme Courant, Man Running, commonplace and oh so current), big birds that fly, lop-sided faces, women rising up. So many people who evolve in the midst of a complex magma of vivacious colours, (Les Mots d'Estomacs, Tummy Words, quadriptych painted on the instructions of a pharmaceutical lab)...
