Jake Vanden Berge is an emerging Los Angeles-based artist who paints striking juxtapositions exploring the hazy threshold between memory and nostalgia. Born in Whittier and entirely self-trained, Vanden Berge’s oil compositions are diluted to appear like snapshots racing through the mind, spanning the real to the imagined, from burning suburban houses to images of a doberman pinscher contrasted with a field of chromatic tulips.

There is a cinematic quality to the images that Vanden Berge culls. He purposefully stacks opposing themes as a way to spark dialogues with disparate subject matter and spotlight the beauty in the everyday. His latest Untitled print features a field of pink tulips split between a cropped image of a women’s lips. The impermanence of beauty, emblematic of the use of flowers throughout art history, becomes a central exploration within the artwork, which Vanden Berge zooms in to deliberately abstract, allowing the viewer to piece their own interpretation.

Measuring 18 x 24 inches, Untitled is limited to an edition of 25 and printed on Moab Entrada Rag White Paper 290 paper. For the collectors looking to purchase, the artwork is available at Vanden Berge’s website for $150 USD.
