Tony Berlant is a contemporary American artist known for his mixed-media sculptural collages. Laboriously composed from photo-printed plywood, tin scraps, and metal sheets, the artist reassembles the pieces like a jigsaw puzzle. Reordered, the works transform into ecstatic abstractions, flowers, and surreal landscapes. “The more personal and introspective an artwork is, the more universal it becomes,” Berlant said. “[Artists] go into the inner world—the world of the imagination—to discover not only themselves but the unchanging essences of humanity.” Born on August 7, 1941 in New York, NY, he received his BA, MA, and MFA in sculpture from the University of California in Los Angeles. He currently lives and works in Santa Monica, CA. Berlant's work can be found among the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C., and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
