FUNNY: Gallery Owner Explains Why Hunter Biden Is An 'Artistic Genius'...
The New York gallery owner who discovered the artist hiding under Hunter Biden‘s troubled and controversial exterior admitted he was skeptical before their first meeting nearly three years ago. “A lot of people say they can paint and do sculpture, but what I was concerned about was whether Hunter’s work would be authentic,” said Georges Berges, who owns eponymous galleries in SoHo and Berlin.
He told The Post he was introduced to Biden by a “serious” Los Angeles-based collector who had been impressed with the oeuvre of the scandal-scarred president’s son. “What interested me was whether the work was going to be honest — something that was really true to him and his journey,” Berges said. “But as soon as I met him, I had a real connection with him and I felt I could work with him.”
Berges, 45, was excited by what he saw in Biden’s home studio: ethereal pastels of raindrops and other natural elements, most of them done on Japanese Yupo paper using ink blown through a straw.
