ARTIST FROM BOSNIA, MERSAD BERBER'S MANY BAROQUE MASTERPIECES IMPRESS MANY IN MAYFAIR-BASED GALLERY

Mersad Berber, in his early sixties, is a very talented Bosnian artist who uses a very Renaissance and Baroque style of art to produce true masterpieces. Over 50 of his paintings have been on show since the middle of April and today is your last chance to see his very impressive selection of oils and mixed media on canvases. Many horses feature in his paintings – including the very large "Black Monography : The Hitched-up Horse" (164cm x 200cm at £32,500). Impressive busts and statues also feature – in a dedicated fashion, either by themselves or together with a horse, flowers or other. They are dedicated to both true and mythological characters – Goya and Orpheus, to name just two.
 

We liked so many of the paintings on show, and it was hard to choose our favourite three but eventually we settled for, "In The Blue" (45cm x 60cm at £9,875), "In The Blue II" (46cm x 60cm at £9,500) and "Renaissance Motif I" (50cm x 70cm at £11,500). We also liked the "Grand Polyptych" (114 x 195 cm at £25,000), a painting that illustrated six scenes – some brightly highlighted - that included horses and people in various poses.
