The Evanston Art Center is pleased to invite the public to the opening of Ethereal Abstractions featuring the work of Barbara L. Sykes.
ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
Ethereal Abstractions is an uplifting solo watercolor painting series featuring work by Barbara L. Sykes that premieres at the Evanston Art Center, November 7 and runs through December 20, 2020. The paintings are lyrical, colorful abstractions reminiscent of organic shapes, ethereal forms and underwater landscapes - evocative impressions of spiritual and elemental worlds. They are created through a meditative, intuitive practice; the unconscious becomes conscious as colors flow across the paper and forms emerge in silence. A sense of stillness and movement are captured as images surface, blend into each other and become redefined. Ethereal Abstractions evokes the spontaneity, themes and underlying presence of the Divine Feminine - reoccurring threads that reflect and continue from Sykes’s previous body of time-based and digital artwork.
