Lisa Bergh creates work that examines the cerebral and aesthetic weight of our internal, emotional worlds. Sitting precariously at the intersection of painting, drawing and sculpture, Bergh draws on a visual language rooted in figuration, abstraction, color, place and architecture. Her objects and installations serve simultaneously as fragmented studies and completed works all at once, residing somewhere between the ephemeral and the tangible.
The artist reception overlaps with the Our Narratives Open Mic Night. The artist will present a short piece to show the intersection of contemporary art and personal narratives. Audience Members are encouraged to come for the entire event which goes until 9pm.
Bergh holds a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in spatial arts from San José State University in California and a BFA in printmaking from the University of Arizona. She has received numerous grants and awards including a 2020 Minnesota State Arts Board Artist Initiative Grant and a 2018 SMAC Individual Artist Grant.
Bergh has exhibited across the region, including recent solo exhibitions at the Kaddatz Galleries in Fergus Falls, the MacRostie Art Center in Grand Rapids, Rochester Art Center, Silverwood Park and the Mardag Gallery at the Franconia Sculpture Park. Her art can be found in public and private collections, and she currently serves as an art instructor for Ridgewater College.
