Yevgeniya Baras & Pete Schulte

Schulte

This exhibition brings together the work of two artists to create a broader dialogue on abstraction, line, and color as it coincides in contemporary painting and drawing. Pete Schulte’s monochromatic drawings of looping lines and graphite glowing shapes play against Yevgeniya Baras’ more ragged and built-up paintings, brightly colored and unframed as  strands of  burlap hang loose off the stretcher. Schulte focuses in, removing any trace of the hand and yet, growing tighter as the renderings seem almost preordained, as if they simply appeared. Baras loosens the grip on the show, veering wildly into dribs and drabs of paint, caked on and made solid; an applied palette knife mark, thick with paint and frozen in time. 

Most of the works on display are relatively modest in scale, encouraging the viewer to volley back and forth, experiencing the comparison themselves. Additionally, both artists rely on foreground and background for their images to appear. For Schulte it is the creamy white of the paper, a substrate which allows the graphite to meld flat on the page. Baras seemingly digs out her designs from the textures of paint or builds it up using paper pulp, articulating layers of abstraction which, at times, suggest framing. Read together, the exhibition presents a myriad of ways of looking and making, both rough and refined, open and closed. 

Exhibition organized by The Gallery at Heimbold Visual Arts Center, Sarah Lawrence College
