“Eric Dever: Points of Interest”
July 3-August 15, 2025
Reception, Thursday, July 10, 2025
6-8 pm
Berry Campbell Gallery is pleased to announce its fourth exhibition of paintings by contemporary artist Eric Dever. “Eric Dever: Points of Interest” is an exploration into the temporal dimensions of plant life and the ecological impact of climate change. Dever lives and works in Water Mill, New York, and often looks to his studio garden for inspiration. His “points of interest” further extend to Water Mill’s surrounding watershed, regional travel to arboretums and botanical gardens, nature reserves, and notable historic vistas, reflecting a sustained engagement with natural and cultivated environments.
Eric Dever’s paintings teeter between representation and abstraction balancing these two modalities with ease. In some works, Dever renders botanical forms in clear frontal depictions that are immediately recognizable; in others, plant forms dissolve into expansive abstractions that appear to spill over the edge of the canvas. This interplay of styles unfolds across the nineteen works in this exhibition, many of which are Dever’s largest and most ambitious paintings to date.
“Eric Dever: Points of Interest” is on view from July 3 through August 15, 2025 with a reception on Thursday, July 10, 2025 from 6 to 8 pm.
