About the Item
It's long believed that "the machine" is capitalism and the oppressive structures at the highest levels of society. Renegade artist Basquiat became drawn into this machine and became grist for its hungry jaws, ultimately raging against its exploitation. Today we also live in times of unprecedented political upheaval and uncertainty and again people are questioning their own and global leadership. Berlin is highly attuned to the emotions and feelings of the world, keeping a gentle finger on the pulse of places he goes and people he meets. This Neo-Expressionist painting is a culmination of some of these intense intuitions; note the character is wearing a business suit, he has a blood red mouth and his background is yellow, the colour of treachery, but this piece has the feel of subversion in every stroke of paint, this is Basquiats ultimate subversion a 21st Century reincarnation in the hands of Sax Berlin. This work is a contemporary comment on the political landscape and a glorious artwork.

Sax Berlin
We are privileged to sell works on behalf of Sax Berlin. Sax, arguably the finest exponent of 21st Century Classicism, has devoted his life to absorbing the culture of art and architecture in Europe, Asia & North America. He is undoubtedly a genius of our times and one of the great secrets of modern art. When one reviews his oeuvre, 10 distinct & separate styles emerge, displaying Berlin’s mastery of his subject. In fact only Picasso has achieved this height of genius. His students and collectors call him “The Master”. Berlin is a unique artist, using techniques mastered during his studies; ranging from antiquity through the medieval and Renaissance to the present; he creates the visual outcomes he wants and that delight collectors. The paintings Berlin has created in his New York, Greek and Cornish studios are of museum quality and are rarely seen in Art Sales offering a combination of beautiful artworks and investment opportunity. Harvard University refer to him as a Master Artist. The President of the Asia Society on Park Avenue, NYC wrote to Berlin that “your work is beautiful” and Bernard Faure, Professor of Asia Studies at Columbia University wrote “your icons really do have a life of their own”. Sax Berlin is a modern Master Painter in the truest sense of the term and follows in the footsteps of the Great Masters of the past.
