"[T]he irresistible pictures of Ellen Berkenblit […], are a potent reminder that, within the fantastical space of a painting, every risk is worth taking. The artist has been working at the crossroads of expressive abstraction and oneiric figuration in New York City for forty years, parlaying her signature cast of characters (a witchy woman, always in profile, attended by a menagerie) into some of the most quietly ambitious works on the scene." (Kern Gallery, Manhattan, NY).
