This summer, the 蜜柚直播 is working to introduce you to 蜜柚直播鈥檚 creative artists.
Sculptor Jesse Berlin, a native 蜜柚直播an and a graduate of 蜜柚直播 High, says he鈥檚 been an artist his whole life 鈥 all 37 years of it.
Currently he鈥檚 working out of a studio in northeast 蜜柚直播 on pieces both big and small, figures and faces that might come from fevered dreams and have names like Denizen of the Uncanny Valley #2.
On his website Berlin describes his work as: 鈥. . . hyper-realistic representations of uncanny and often surreal subject matter that is psychologically unnerving, organic, and anatomical, while simultaneously being both repellent and magnetic.鈥

In addition to his formal education, a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and an MFA from Southern Illinois University Carbondale, Berlin worked in prosthetics at the Bronx Veterans Administration Medical Center. He credits that experience with helping create a more lifelike feel from his works.
