JOHN GERBER

Gerber's portraits are built through instinct-loose line work, soft color, and fractured forms that shift between structure and emotion. The figures aren't fixed; they move, split, and reassemble, capturing feeling more than likeness. There's a lightness to the work, but also a quiet tension underneath.
