The city is chaotic and overwhelming, but also full of beauty. Urban landscapes are often captured by artists who seek to capture their essence or capture the energy that pervades them. Travis Herberger has done just that with his paintings of urban settings. His unique style blends realism with abstraction to create works that are both beautiful and captivating. Herberger’s work has often been compared to the work of Chuck Close, Frank W. Stella, and Peter Doig. Unlike other painters that have often used the city as fuel for their creativity, Herberger drew from his surroundings to create an entirely new art form.
