Meadow dream Painting

Robert Bery is a New York City artist who works in painting, sculpture, and mixed media. Through his art, Bery promotes peaceful themes and has said "My intention is to reflect, challenge and inspire the viewer through color and image." In the wake of WWII, Robert Bery’s family emigrated from Romania to Israel when he was only six. There, as an adult, he served in the military as an electric technician, applying his highly accomplished engineering and technical skills to aviation communication systems and the production of Phantom jets. ​ Bery's work aims to promote positivity in the midst of the ever-dueling opposing forces of love and hate. He is determined to advance peaceful globalization, to discourage egotistical hubris, and to celebrate life and its rituals. His works often incorporate numerals to signify the importance of numbers both as a human universal and as a representation of monetary value. His subjects range from weddings to sports, and often include the exploration of traditionally "feminine pursuits" such as sewing and housekeeping. Bery's work is full of color and energy. Underlying his vision are themes that inform his diverse ecumenical art works. Bery explores aspects of his “feminine” side, through the activity of machine sewing, to create larger than life, complex, vibrant soft cloth sculptures, which reflect the erotic underpinnings of everyday male‐female interactions. The pleasure he takes in life’s gift of sensation virtually bursts from his works, radiating the energetic essence that the sense of touch embodies.
