Natalia Berschin

Natalia Berschin
…Ghost town of Prypiat with its abandoned houses, schools, a hotel, and a funfair … deserted landscape, taken back by nature… few old people still living in villages within the Exclusion Zone … derelict contaminated fire-fighting vehicles, helicopters, riverboats, used during the catastrophe, form piles of radioactive metal scrap… Natalia Berschin, who was born and grew up in Minsk, Belarus, is not foreign to the aftermath of the disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in 1986. Her outstanding feeling for color, her polished, aesthetically sophisticated manner of painting, creates an unanticipated, and therefore, powerfully amplified resonance with the dramatic and piercing content of her canvases.
