an excerpt from "Joel Philip Myers and Berny Brownstein: Wexler
Gallery"
New and past works by painter Berny Brownstein will be presented
at Wexler's second floor, beginning July 29. A native Philadelphia,
Brownstein is a recorder of decisive moments, personal refletions,
and experiences gained through years of travel and observation. An
artist who is "excited about the essence of all things: a figure, a
landscape, the character of an individual," Brownstein is inspired
by the possibilities of "form, color, texture, the transient play
of light and shadow." For him, "even the most commonplace of
objects are enduring moments to the limitless subject matter of
nature."
