Nothing more categorical to make evident the existential loneliness than a long solitary road. In these assemblings Berni shares with the observer a road movie vision, in which only the route and some isolated traffic signal refer to a human presence. Due to their deprivement of anecdote, in these landscapes it may be seen better perhaps than in any other work the wise use of extrapictorial materials. The argent hues of a silvery plate representing a stormy sky, the coarseness of burlap precisely reflecting the aridity of the earth, the shining plastic suggesting the shimmering of light in the horizon’s mirages, the branches and roots describing the tortuousness of wild vegetation, and the canvas, which reveals the dazzling white of a salt pit. All of these are elections made by a sharp painter’s eye.
