Dudi Berkowitz Chicago is a talented American painter based in Chicago who has exhibited his work throughout the country. Previously a part-time ceramic and sculpture artist, with additional experience in photography, today he primarily applies his skills to painting. Living on the coast of lake Michigan heavily influences his work: the sand, water and high skyscrapers of the city dance along his canvases and leap towards the viewer. Dudi Berkowitz Chicago ultimately seeks to create a sense of visual harmony in his painting, and hopes they resonate with people. Working across mediums, he creates powerfully charged portraits and semi-abstract works that evoke raw emotion through rough textures. His compositions are emotional spaces built by layers of color – some transparent, others opaque – all forming the substance of the piece. Captivated by art ever since he was a child, Dudi Berkowitz Chicago has now enjoyed over two decades of life as a professional painter. With faces and landscapes as his central theme, he composes figurative portraits marked by interesting combinations of form and colour. His compositions are currently focused on technique and structural developments.
