Yevgeniya Baras’ solo exhibition, Dreamfeeding, continues the artist's innovative explorations of abstraction, produced through layers of accumulated found elements and oil paint. These evocative compositions employ Baras’ personal symbology to consider the unconscious, architecture in relation to the body, and the strata of multiple histories.
Baras' paintings take shape through a process of layering and accumulation, combining oil media with various found and unconventional materials. The resulting objects hover between painting and sculptural relief, with layers that frequently extend onto the sides and supports of the canvas, refusing any definitive boundary. Within these stratified compositions, Baras creates symbolic topographies which address ideas of language, migration, and translation. The material richness of the work serves to generate abstractions that are encoded and deeply personal.
