Opening Reception: Thursday, March 13th from 6–8 pm
Anne Berlit Price List
Atlantic Gallery is pleased to present Dance the Distance, an exhibition featuring the work of Anne Berlit and Michele Foyer. Both artists explore layering and a poetic interplay of light, color, and reflection to create depth and distance. The translucent, smooth surfaces of Berlit’s acrylic-on-plexiglas paintings contrast with Foyer’s opaque, painted-paper collages, engaging in a visual dialogue that unfolds within and between their works. Their art extends beyond traditional boundaries, incorporating the surrounding space and inviting viewers to actively engage in its perception. The exhibition constitutes an award for work in “This is the Future of Non-Objective Art,” a 2024 curatorial project by Suzan Shutan.
Berlit is a German artist based in Essen who studied Free Graphics and Sculpture at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf (1992 – 1999), becoming a master student of David Rabinowitch (1998) and earning the Akademiebrief (1999). Her work is included in notable collections such as the Kunstmuseum Düsseldorf, the City of Essen, and the Sparkasse Gütersloh. She has been an artist-in-residence at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris and has received numerous awards. @berlitanne/ www.anneberlit.de

Her work has been featured in New American Paintings, White Columns Artist Registry, and Friend of the Artist and A Place of Creation book publications.
