Yevgeniya Baras – Clocks deep in us
24 Oct - 17 Nov 2018 68projectsThe fantasy world often serves as an escape from reality, its limitations, and its many social, economic, and corporeal restrictions. Reality, in turn, is often desired amidst the delusions of the fantastic. However, the two are not always separate. The artist pulls from a diverse set of references: from Shiva Lingam paintings that are seen as symbols of energy, then to the abstract physicality of Elizabeth Murray's work, to the delicate and decorative from Florine Stettheimer and the Early American Modernist Visionary works of Forrest Bess – Baras's works are physical, archaeological and gritty. Her work takes abstraction to its most tactile moment and then folds in cryptic codes on the surface of the paintings that the viewer is invited to decode.Read more -
We might not have a planet left soon – Groupshow
27 Apr - 5 Aug 2017 68projectsYevgeniya Baras, Gina Beavers, Katherine Bradford, Kimia Ferdowsi Kline, Jackie Gendel, Pam Glick, Joanne Greenbaum, Maia Ruth Lee, Dona NelsonRead more
Following an invitation by 68projects, the American artist, curator and director of CANADA gallery Adrianne Rubenstein selected nine ambiguous artists for the art exhibition. We might not have a planet left soon that we are showing during Gallery Weekend. The collection is a soliloquy about painting. The time it takes to make something. Colour and form. Dedication. As the planet unravels, which it’s always been doing at every stage, you plant a flower, and it is beautiful. The more beautiful, the more, in contrast, it is with its background. A flower in outer space or a flower growing out of a broken brick wall.“
