Tina Berning creates visual stories in her impressionistic portraits. Those who allow themselves to be captivated by the fine lines and vibrant color nuances of her work will discover a deeper world behind the faces in which all that is human is expressed: sadness, pain, disillusion, happiness, love and hope. In media including ink, pencil, acrylic and crayon on paper, Bernings work concerns, in her words, an ongoing exploration of grace. Regards is the first extensive monograph of this exceptional artist. Copublished with Diogenes, Zurich
