“Undercurrents”: recent work by Deborah Barrett and Gina Pearlin<\/p>\n

Deborah Barrett lived and worked in Afghanistan at the American University in Kabul\u00a0from 2009 to 2013. While there she acquired old manuscript paper, a scarce commodity in a\u00a0city ravaged by 30 years of war. The paper was used to create small, stylized portraits where\u00a0both the material and the subject matter were central to her experience. At the same time\u00a0and after returning to the U.S., Barrett also produced a series of collages entitled “Beasts and\u00a0Botanicals”. These works are freer, depicting exaggerated, imagined hybrid forms–a\u00a0contrast to the stress of life in a post-combat zone.<\/p>\n

Gina Pearlin\u02bcs works, many of them gouache on panel or a variety of found\u00a0materials, are described by the artist as \u201cwaking dreams”. Like dreams, Gina Pearlin\u02bcs\u00a0paintings mix together references, figures and locations–sometimes from within her own\u00a0past work, where ideas recur over and again. Stark in their composition, though full of layers\u00a0and nuances in terms of their execution, Pearlin\u02bcs works have an arresting, haunting quality.<\/p>\n
