(Southampton, NY) Internationally renowned Painter and Performance Artist Kevin Berlin will present ALIEN INVASION at Art Southampton during the VIP Preview on July 25. The “Aliens” will descend upon the Art Southampton Pavilion starting at 6:30 and at 7:30 pm sharp there will be a live performance at Gallery Valentine, Booth A35.
”I’m thrilled to be presenting this body of work from another planet. ‘Alien Invasion’ truly translates the vision of an enormously talented and creative artist. Gallery Valentine is excited to be representing Kevin Berlin,” said Gallery Valentine owner Ryan Ross.
‘The fact that we don’t see aliens all around could mean two things: They don’t exist, or they are very good at not being seen. In the tradition of Stephen Hawking and Carl Sagan, artist Kevin Berlin is asking all the right questions.”-Corey Powell, Discover magazine
“To me, an ‘Alien’ is anyone on the cell phone. “– Kevin Berlin
