Zeke Berman
A New York native, Zeke Berman mastered his skills in sculpture and photography at the Philadelphia College of Art and graduated in 1973. Since this time he has utilized found objects and ordinary materials such as water paper, clay and gelatin to construct delicate, formal arrangements that mirror 17th-century Dutch still-life painting. His recent diptych and triptych constructions emphasize a humorous poetry that reveals itself through the manipulation of the everyday object and its ultimate documentation.
Zeke Berman's photographs have been viewed in major museums worldwide and collected by the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Art Institute of Chicago and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

졸업했다. 이시기 이후로 그는 물종이(water paper ?), 점토, 17세기 네덜란드(Dutch) 정물 회화 양식을
반영하는 미묘하고 형식적인 배열을 구성하기 위해서 사용하는 젤라틴 같은 일상적인 재료들을 애용하기
시작했다. 그의 최근의 둘로 접힌 그림[조각]과 3부작(diptych and triptych) 구성들은 일상적인 객체와
그것들의 궁극적인 도큐먼테이션을 드러내는 유머러스한 시적인 것을 강조하고 있다.
