There will be new works featured by Per Bernal and RISK.
Dolph Lundgren will be unveiling his portrait, an incredible collaboration by Per and Risk. Get your vote on!

Phillips represents Bernal and other acclaimed artists in addition to offering art advisory and acquisitions, curating, and custom work.
“I have been a photographer for over 30 years and have shot close to 1000 fitness covers, which have been published worldwide. The opening of my US studio is a dream come true, for me, and I now feel the freedom to explore my fine art photography, including celebrity portraiture. I find it very inspiring to work with other artists and I want my studio to be an artists’ colony, where creative minds and creative ideas can meet and merge together. Working with Megan Phillips, of Sur Le Mur, has given me tremendous momentum and she has encouraged me to expand my art and to take it to an entirely new level,” said Per Bernal.
