Pendant-Green 1977

Here is "Pendant-Green" by Leon Berkowitz. Notice how Berkowitz uses diffused fields of color to create a composition that feels both expansive and intimate. The canvas is a wash of soft gradients transitioning from warm yellows and oranges at the top and bottom, meeting in the middle with a gentle green. This central green area acts as a focal point, not through sharp contrast, but through subtle shifts in hue. Berkowitz's technique dissolves the boundaries between colors, avoiding hard lines for a hazy, atmospheric effect. The painting invites contemplation on how color alone can evoke space, light, and emotion. It destabilizes our expectation of distinct forms, offering instead a meditation on pure sensation. It prompts a deeper consideration of color's potential to transform a flat surface into an immersive environment.
