Berry Campbell Gallery is pleased to announce a special exhibition of paintings by JOHN OPPER from February 8 through March 10, 2018. This is Berry Campbell’s first exhibition of Opper’s work since announcing the representation of his estate a year ago.
Active as a painter for over six decades, JOHN OPPER was an early member of the New York School. Over the course of his career, he evolved from creating abstract gestural works, in which he drew inspiration from the natural world, to a pure form of abstraction. He stated in 1990: “I orchestrate color, line, and shape. My whole purpose is to produce an aesthetic response.” He held the conviction that “art is its own experience. It bespeaks a sublime relationship between the artist and his work.”
