Michael Berryhill isn't here to tell you what to do. His brightly colored canvases prefer slyly alluding to structural forms and recognizable objects, before shifting and receding before viewer's eyes, delighting in their ambiguous freeform narrative. Berryhill is fascinated by misinterpretation and its myriad winding avenues to deeper self-assigned meaning, allowing for a liberated and investigative viewing experience. Sitting with a Berryhill composition, subjective narrative arise from the disorientation caused by his paintings' structural shifts in composition. In H-O-B (hats on beds), turquoise diagonals in the foreground hints at the recognizable form of an accessory, while the background flickers in a vivid colorscape.
