Chris Berens
Chris Berens (born June 19, 1976) is a Dutch painter. While he takes inspiration from the quality of light in the paintings of Vermeer and Rembrandt, his themes lie more within the realms of surrealism and visionary art than traditional painting.〔Amanda Erlanson, ("Chris Berens Is The Only Living Boy In New York," ) ''Erratic Phenomena'', 12/11/09〕 Although his work is completely hand-painted, his paintings are often assumed to be digital photographic manipulation.〔Kirsten Anderson, ("The Art of Chris Berens," ) ''Hi-Fructose'', Vol. 9, 2008〕 He lives in Amsterdam with his wife Esther and their daughters Emma & Juno Leeuwenhart.
==Life==
Chris Berens was born in 1976 in Oss, Netherlands, near the historic town of 's-Hertogenbosch, the birthplace of Hieronymous Bosch, a factor that would feature in his artistic development.〔 When he was a boy, his father brought him to many exhibitions of the Dutch Golden Age painters, including Frans Hals, Rembrandt and Vermeer, and those images became infused into the internal world he began imagining as a child.〔 He studied illustration at the Academy of Art and Design in Den Bosch, graduating in 1999. While working as a freelance illustrator, Berens began to teach himself to paint in several dilapidated buildings in the rural area near his childhood home.〔Ruud Lapré and Chris Berens, ''2239'', Jaski Gallery, 2008〕 Attempting to emulate the painting methods of the Old Masters and 19th-century academic artists like Ingres and Bouguereau, he learned by copying their work, and eventually came upon a technique which allowed him to achieve an otherwordly dreamlike impression of the qualities he admired in his predecessors.〔
More recently, Berens relocated to Amsterdam, where he began exhibiting his work in 2004.〔Amanda Erlanson, ("Chris Berens' Luminous Visions," ) ''Erratic Phenomena'', 8/31/08〕 After four sold-out shows at Amsterdam's Jaski Gallery, Berens made the move to infiltrate the American art market in 2008, at Seattle's well-known pop surrealism gallery, Roq la Rue. That sold-out show was his first exposure to American collectors, and the sudden appearance of an artist exhibiting his technical sophistication and evocative dreamlike motifs caused a sensation in pop surrealism circles.〔("Preview: Chris Berens at Roq la Rue," ) ''Arrested Motion'', 12/1/08〕 In 2009, he had his first museum retrospective, in which 13 of his paintings were exhibited at the (Noordbrabants Museum ) in Den Bosch.〔
In 2010, Berens was commissioned to create the cover for Blondie's album ''Panic of Girls''.〔("Chris Berens' ''Panic of Girls'' Cover," ) Blondie Official Website Photo Blog, 4/10〕 He also supplied the artwork for German singer Xavier Naidoo's 2009 album (''Alles kann besser werden'' ),〔("Xavier Naidoo: Alles Kann Besser Werden," ) Discoogle.com, 10/23/09〕 which features a painting called "The Big Blue."
