“One by One”: Monoprints and Variable Editions by Lisa Barsumian
Cooley Gallery
Jan. 1, 2024 - Aug. 13, 2011
An exhibition and sale of monotypes and variable editions on view from July 16th through August 13th. In this exhibition the gallery introduces over thirty-five brand new works by the Paris based ex-patriot artist Barsumian.
Lisa Barsumian focuses on a subject and renders it without a context, portraying its essence. Whether in paint or print, Lisa is inclined to focus on an aspect of her subject and compose it down to a harmonious minimum, a place where positive and negative cheerfully coexist. For this exhibition Lisa chose familiar, everyday subjects: a lawn chair, a pomegranate or a cat walking through shadows. The prints are clean and simple with only one subject represented in the course of one print.
