In 
                  the contemporary style of geometric hard-edge art, Ralph Berko creates 
                  three-dimensional design on a two dimensional surface. Artists such 
                  as Stella, Escher, and Vasarely, have influenced him greatly. His 
                  work is distinguished by the sense of movement and space in his unique 
                  use of color. Some of his works are done with monochromatic colors, 
                  while others are multi-colored and very visual. Many viewers are impressed 
                  by the luminescence emanating from his paintings, and the zone of 
                  shadow which are produced by the variation of his color scales and 
                  progression.
