Robert Berman Gallery presents (figment), a group show curated by Jon Cournoyer and Ashley Lauren Saks, featuring dreamy landscapes and imaginative worlds created by emerging artists from 4 cities across the country.

New York based artist Erika Somogyi uses fluorescent watercolors to explore themes of love, hope, transition, and uncertainty. Moody and ambiguous scenes are formed with naturalistic explosions color that stimulate the imagination.  Reeve Schumacher is an artist representing Miami, using fabric, paint, and stains of color, layered with drawings and photographs. Delving into the depths of the subconscious, Reeve's work often addresses themes of metamorphosis and fantasy.  Marie-Claire Bozant, based out of Austin, Texas, uses acrylic on canvas, painting phantasmagoric portraits of faces that melt away in pools of uncertainty.  Jeff Charbonneau & Eliza French are photographers from the Los Angeles area that have been collaborating together for the past 4 years. Their mysterious images are inspired by their personal dreams and visions, yet have a vague sense of familiarity that intrigues the viewer and leaves them wanting more.

Together, these artists provide a space and experience that will take you away from reality, into a (figment) of their imagination and your own.  The show runs from February 17 – March 10 in Gallery C2 of Bergamot Station Arts Center in Santa Monica.
