As a seasoned gamer with a penchant for art that mirrors the surreal landscapes of my favorite video games, I find Jake Vanden Berge‘s work to be a captivating blend of reality and imagination. Born and bred in the same city as me, Whittier, his self-taught prowess in oil painting resonates deeply with my own DIY spirit.
Jake Vanden Berge, a budding artist based in Los Angeles, creates captivating paintings that delve into the borderland where memory and nostalgia intertwine. Raised in Whittier and self-taught, Vanden Berge’s oil artworks mimic fleeting mental images, traversing the spectrum from reality to fantasy, featuring scenes ranging from blazing suburban homes to striking contrasts between a Doberman Pinscher and vibrant fields of tulips.
In a movie-like manner, Vanden Berge carefully selects his images. He intentionally combines contrasting ideas to initiate discussions on diverse subjects and highlight the aesthetics found in ordinary life. His newest, yet unnamed print titled Untitled, showcases a field of pink tulips juxtaposed with an up-close shot of a woman’s lips. The fleeting nature of beauty, often symbolized by flowers in art, serves as the main focus within this artwork. Vanden Berge strategically magnifies and abstracts the image, inviting the observer to construct their unique interpretation.
This unnamed piece, sized at 18 by 24 inches, is part of an exclusive edition of only 25 prints. It has been meticulously printed on high-quality Moab Entrada Rag White Paper 290. Interested collectors can acquire this artwork directly from Vanden Berge’s website for $150 USD.
