Mike Berg (b.1948) Born in Portland, Oregon, artist Mike Berg has been interested in abstraction since the early days of his career. Feeling connected to countries such as Turkey, Uzbekistan and Armenia, Berg created his own form of artistic expression through geometrical abstractions created on tapestry. Over the span of his 6 decade long career, Berg has exhibited in countless galleries and museums throughout New York, Los Angeles, San Diego, New Orleans, Seattle, Rome, and Istanbul. Famed art critic Linda Yablonsky once praised Mike Berg as “a kind of aesthetic anarchist, disrupting the natural processes of decay and organizing his interventions into exquisitely layered abstraction.” Berg lives and works in Istanbul, Turkey and New York, NY.
