Timeline

1953

Rick Berry (born June 2, 1953) is a contemporary American expressionistic figure artist based in the Boston area.

Berry creates art for galleries, illustration, and paintings for theatrical performances.

Berry's work has appeared in many science fiction, fantasy and comic books, including Neil Gaiman's Sandman, Magic: The Gathering cards, and Stephen King novels.

Berry was born in San Bernardino, California in 1953.

His father, an air force fighter pilot, was frequently stationed in China.

Berry's childhood home was populated with Asian art which fascinated Berry and later found its way into his works.

Frequently moving in his youth, he left behind friends, homes and communities, but he never let go of art.

Self-taught, drawing was the constant in his life.

He learned from comics, book covers, and anything available from the streets.

At 17 while living in Colorado, Berry left school and home, hitchhiking across the country.

His art career started around that time in underground comics, as a founding member of Everyman Studios in Colorado.

1978

His first commissioned painting for the book industry was a cover for Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea, published by Simon and Schuster, 1978.

1980

An innovator in new media during the early 1980s, Berry is credited with the first digitally painted book cover, in his cover for the cyberpunk novel Neuromancer, by William Gibson.

1985

In 1985, Berry created the first digitally painted book cover worldwide for William Gibson's Neuromancer.

Berry has also written under the names Sam Rakeland, R.R. Berry, Rich Berry, Richard Berry, and O. Berry.

Published in 1985, this cover was commissioned when it became clear that Neuromancer would sweep the awards after its initial publication in 1984 and remained the novel's cover for almost two decades.

Berry created the painting with assistance from hackers at MIT's Machine Architectural Group.

Like William Gibson, Berry purchased his first computer from the proceeds of Neuromancer.

He immediately began experimenting with it as a groundbreaking new creative tool, not to mimic techniques of traditional media.

Berry again worked with William Gibson and director Robert Longo for SonyPictures’ Johnny Mnemonic.

1996

The team of Rick Berry, Darrel Anderson and Gene Bodio employed state-of-the-art tech advances to design and produce the CGI cyberspace climax - the award-winning sequence featured in SIGGRAPH's animation revue, 1996.

Berry was also Keanu Reeves’ cyberspace stunt double in Johnny Mnemonic.

1998

Berry and Hale were honored guests at this festival twice, 1998 and again in 2010.

"Parallel Evolutions" concluded with a special art event—Berry and Hale collaborating before a packed audience at the museum.

These paintings sold during the festival in the charity auction for the local children's hospital.

A decade earlier, Berry had designed the festival’s now ongoing live collaborative performance site featuring international artists working together for the first time.

Berry was first introduced to Hale when Phil approached Berry as a teenager interested in acquiring art instruction and they continue a lifelong association.

In the early 90s artist Jeffrey Catherine Jones said of Berry and Hale -

"It is remarkable ... that somehow out of the "discontinuities of the unexpected universe" two of the most creative artists and best draftsmen I've ever seen should met at the right time." -- Jeff Jones commenting on Double Memory the book of art by Berry and Hale.

Berry was commissioned to create several solo exhibitions at Tufts University for their [Institute of Global Leadership].

Examples of topics Berry explored include human trafficking, conflict resolution over limited resources, the politics of fear, and the advancing globalization of China.

2005

During 2005-06 Berry was Practitioner in Residence for Tufts INSPIRE program.

Of works created for these international symposia, Rick states “These paintings serve as meditation upon events almost too overwhelming to contemplate.

Seeing with art, it becomes possible to move toward the problems considered, rather than run from them”

Berry was invited to participate in the first visual art residency offered by Opera Boston, a company known for innovative repertoire choices.

The two-season collaboration seemed a natural partnership as soon as it began with Shostakovich's surreal opera The Nose (opera).

2009

"Rick Berry,...was embedded in the rehearsals" (BostonMetro Feb 27, 2009) where he sketched performers in the dark.

2010

In 2010, Rick Berry and frequent collaborator, Phil Hale, were the subject of the museum exhibition "Parallel Evolutions" at Lucca Center for Contemporary Art, Italy.

" ...two artists who are emblematic of the fluid, shifting nature of contemporary art." —Cosimo Lorenzo Pancini & Emanuele Vietina, Co-Curators.

The exhibition coincided with the annual Lucca Comics and Games Festival attracting 140,000 attendees.
