Resonance - Carole Barrer

May 7 - May 30, 2026.
Artist’s Reception: First Thursday, May 7, 6-8 PM
Artist Talk: Saturday, May 9 at 2 PM

Resonance, a new exhibition by Carole Barrer, presents a deeply meditative and immersive body of work that reflects the artist’s continued evolution. Barrer’s acrylic paintings evoke the inherent flow of the natural world, inviting viewers into atmospheric landscapes that suggest mist, expansive mountain vistas, and vast, shifting seas. Her work captures an intuitive sense of movement and stillness, offering an experiential encounter that unfolds slowly and contemplatively. Carole Barrer will give an artist talk on Saturday, May 7 at 2 PM highlighting her artistic background, inspirations and creative process.

In this latest series, Barrer introduces increased complexity in structure, depth, light, and motion. Subtle shifts in color and compositional dynamics emerge from her intuitive process, shaped by her experiences across seasons, climates, and terrains. Each piece develops organically, guided by a sensitivity to nature’s intricacies and an approach the artist likens to composing the rhythm and notes of a new song.

Color remains central to Barrer’s practice. Through layered applications and careful orchestration of value and spatial relationships, she creates balanced compositions that reward sustained attention. Her alternating use of complementary hues and glazed layers enhance the color subtlety and perceptual luminescence of each work. Barrer’s deliberate, unhurried process allows for a richness of ideas and a profound sense of space to emerge within each work.
