Growth and potential energy; two blooms from the same garden, the exhibition comprises two intertwined bodies of work that flow organically around their space, enveloping us in brilliant hues and bold brushstrokes. with Bari’s characteristic use of intense saturated color, highly gestural form, and immersive texture and movement, the works vibrate with complex harmonies and distinctive rhythms, playing with scale, layering, contrast. Color bloom cultivates a hidden sanctuary of movement, color, and light rooted in the essential rightness of natural chaos, bursting with energetic potential. Invoking the emotional resonance of color, bari creates a space ripe with, and for, transformation.
speaking in color, bari wieselman schulman is a modern abstract painter and mixed-media artist obsessed with color, language (and color as language), and the ways in which art and art objects invite dialogue and carry meaning in(to) the world. a divergent thinker with an intuitive and experimental process, her work challenges us to see, feel, and think differently, encouraging connection with our neuropsychological sense of self.
chicago-born and rooted in madrid, bari received a phd in psychology from the university of chicago and spent years in the design world working at the intersection of people, brands, and products. her background in language and behavior provides a unique window into the relationships between humans, objects, and spaces, and is a critical frame of reference for her work.
