When we last caught up with Shaun Berke, he was busily preparing for his previous showing at La Luz de Jesus gallery, " Sisters of the Inquisition." Berke returns to La Luz on November 7th with an inspired take on Impressionism and 17th century Dutch painting, in "Sacrosanct". His new pieces exhibit his learned classical compositions mixing religious iconography, as in his nun subjects, with some recognizable faces. Some of his models have included fellow local artists Soey Milk and Christine Wu. The work is also modern looking in its minimalism, focusing on the figures placed in subdued, apocalyptic environments. Berke also appreciates a minimal lifestyle in Los Angeles, where we went behind the scenes of his show.
