About
Artist Statement / Bio
Will Beger is a fifth generation Arizonan with a unique approach to Southwestern art. His contemporary-minimalist paintings are clean, pleasing and full of juxtaposition. Influenced by his youth and inspired by nature, he effortlessly captures a vibrant, bohemian aesthetic that is unapologetically true to his roots. His modern Southwest artworks feature a mix of mid-century and landscape elements with an emphasis on desert minimal design. He also brings his subjects into extreme focus - portraying fruits, vegetables, plants and animals at a cellular level. Bright color and stark contrast are standout features of his work.
He graduated from The University of Arizona with a degree in Agricultural Business and Natural Resource Economics with an emphasis in geology. He sailed on Semester at Sea his junior year. On the voyage he visited 13 different ports in 12 countries around the world while studying on board the ship. On the adventure he gained cross-cultural appreciation. His travels are a source of inspiration for his use of color.
Through his distinctive style using bold, monochromatic backgrounds and subject matter, Beger paints for himself, while also seamlessly connecting with anybody and everybody.
His work is in private collections in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Europe, and Asia.
Begers work was included in Saatchi Arts Spring 2023 magazine sent out to over 250k households throughout the world. He was selected as a curator favorite. His paintings have been featured in HBOs The Flight Attendant Season 2 and Apple TV’s ROAR.
